As a clinical social worker, I use evidence based practices and mutual relationship to help enhance social functioning and create more manageability for others seeking assistance. I believe in creating an opportunity for healing by offering care, support, validation and respect. Healing and self directed change occurs within a therapeutic relationship between myself and the individual s seeking assistance.
The relationship and healing process is governed by both the science knowledge and art of intervention skill and is constantly evolving to reflect the outcome and growth one wishes to experience. Psychotherapy offers an opportunity for teaching, learning, and healing, not only for patients, but for myself and my practice.
