Therapist Overview
Entering into a psychotherapeutic relationship tends to be preceded by considerable thought, hopes and expectations- and perhaps fears. As a clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience, I work to collaboratively develop a plan for care that reflects the issues that bring the person into treatment at that particular moment. For some people, a sounding board is indicated, while others might initially benefit from some psycho-education, to be followed, perhaps, by deeper psychodynamic work. Couples may need an initial dose of empathy for the state of their relationship, followed by the hard work of stepping back and exploring patterns fueling the pain. Some clients are eager for specific goals or books to read, whereas others seek a break from an overly goal-focused life, to be able to breathe and reflect on the meaning of their pain or depression. Recently I have been working with women pre-retirement, as well as with seniors on living healthfully.
