| Practice Description: |
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working in the field for almost 20 years. I work with individuals, children, couples and families. I provide a warm, safe, comfortable environment for those seeking counseling. I recognize that it can be difficult for some people to reach out for help.
My treatment approach is eclectic and varied. I truly focus on the persons needs. Through counseling, it is my hope, that people gain insight into their behaviors. Together, we address how to make positive changes in place of the negative behaviors.
My specialty is in addiction ranging from drugs, alcohol, food, gambling, etc. I am a Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC). We address causes, prevention, progression, consequences and recovery. I work with Drinking Driving Programs for those who have received a DWI or DUI. I am a Substance Abuse Professional. I recommend appropriate education, treatment, follow up tests and aftercare.
One of my treatment approaches is cognitive behavioral therapy. I work with individuals to set attainable goals through planning, pacing and prioritizing. A person can change negative thought patterns and core beliefs. As a result, people often strengthen their ability to communicate effectively and become better advocates for themselves.
