I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a certified alcohol and drug counselor (CADC). My approach is eclectic, and I would say that I am inspired by several modalities, including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior therapy skills, mindfulness-based therapy, acceptance and commitment, psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, and attachment theory.

 

Above all I value our working relationship and I believe it is paramount that we agree on what we are pursuing and how. I strive to be open to feedback, tailoring my work to your needs. I can be direct or hands off, talkative or not. I can be authoritative, sharing my expertise and teaching coping skills, or I can simply listen and support you as you come to your own conclusions. I recognize how difficult it is to measure well-being, but I am passionate about measuring results and ensuring that you get what you need from therapy.
