Licensed Certified Social Worker – Clinical

I sometimes utilize eclectic treatment modalities but prefer CBT as it lends itself to many situations. I help by having the knowledge, experience, and ability to perform appropriate assessments and create appropriate and relevant treatment plans and therapy.

I am objective, empathic, and non-judgmental, and am most happy when helping my patients resolve life’s issues.

I have experience working with clients who experience co-occurring Disorder-Bi-Polar l and Substance Use Disorder. My ideal client has the goals to reduce or discontinue substance use, improve in psychiatric symptoms and functioning, increase chance for successful treatment and recovery for both disorders, improve quality of life, and decrease hospitalization. Their wants are basic needs such as stable housing and employment which would contribute to stabilization and the maintenance and adherence to mental health and substance use disorder treatment.
