SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7:
I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over 20 years. I am amazed at the resilience and vigor of the human spirit. I have worked with clients from 2 to 92 and I am amazed at what obstacles and barriers my clients have overcome. I am consistently amazed at how they have chosen to and managed to thrive amidst histories of trauma and hardship.
My philosophy is to start with a strength-based approach to providing therapy or coaching. I also believe in using good old-fashioned reflective listening with a strong element of emotional support when working with clients. Addition to this I have put together the best of the best of the classic therapy approaches: psychoanalysis, Jungian Shadow work, gestalt therapy, reality therapy-Along with some of the newer techniques: brief solution therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, and engaging coaching approach is to help clients understand themselves, heal old wounds, and set a plan for the future to reach Goals to help go from surviving to thriving.
