“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” Lao TzuI……….
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have many years of experience providing treatment to children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked in various settings which include: A therapeutic day school, adoption preservation, adult mental health, and residential facilities for both children and aging adults. Four of those years were specifically working with children and adolescents diagnosed with autism, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, and developmental delay.
In my work I use various methods of therapeutic interventions that include cognitive-behavioral, strength-based and solution-focused therapies. When working with children I utilize my training in Theraplay and play therapy techniques which support social-emotional development by allowing children to express emotion, improve communication, and problem solve.
It is my goal to provide a safe empathetic environment in order to build a positive therapeutic relationship to ensure the best possible treatment to each and every client.
