Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I enjoy working with all ages. Over the last 20 years I have worked with children,tweens,adolescents,adults,couples and their families. Creating a therapeutic environment, which is safe,non-judgemental and caring, is one of my main goals. Every individual has a unique set of circumstances. This requires a personalized intervention to create the changes needed to gain the insight to better understand themselves and others. Once becoming empowered with the skills to feel confident about themselves and their environment they soon find life becomes more managable and easier to navigate through. The approach I use is an eclectic method. This is a collection of certain aspects from various theories. My approach enables me to personalize the therapy techniques according to the needs of each individual. Together we establish and develop interventions to accomplish the specific goals they hope to achieve. I focus on the persons strenghts and previous successes. I utilize and reinforce effective coping skills while teaching new techniques. In building knowledge they further enhance their ability to cope and become successful.Throughout this entire process we work collaboratively to heighten the individuals level of confidence and well being.
