Sometimes in life you encounter problems that overwhelm your ability to cope. The experience can leave you feeling desperate, lonely, and stressed out. I provide a caring and non-judgmental place for you to talk about what is troubling you. I will help you identify the problem, explore solutions, and implement a change plan. I can't promise a perfect life, but I can engage you in a collaborative work alliance where you will have the opportunity to tap into your own power source, identify personal strengths and environmental resources, and identify and implement a plan to not only cope but also to thrive.
I am a Maryland licensed clinical social worker, a certified substance abuse counselor, and a Social Work Examiners Board approved clinical supervisor. I graduated with a master's degree in social work from San Francisco State University in 1999. I have been actively working in the fields of mental health and addiction since 1993.
I work with adults and seniors using an eclectic mix of theoretical orientations. Whatever problem you present, my treatment focus is concrete solutions, optimal functioning, personal growth, and life satisfaction.
