About me
I am licensed in New Jersey serving over 30 years in clinical and direct social work practice in various capacities and settings. I am a Christian therapist whose care philosophy is to help clients function as designed, to work towards healing and to achieve healthier lives with purpose.
My clinical experience has included serving adults to include senior adults challenged by depression, anxiety, and grief and loss. My practice approach involves but limited to Group therapy, Focus-solution therapy, Psycho-education, Cognitive behavior therapy, and faith-based therapy to help individuals and families, experience healing.
In addition to providing psychotherapy, I have also served as a Certified School Social Worker for many years. This experience has sensitized me to the needs of parents and children for support in finding meaningful ways to better understand educational disabilities.
I am a caring therapist who provides a safe and confidential environment where clients can process areas of concern and are supported in finding solutions.
