Nathan seemed to enjoy it. I think he likes the extra attention. At 1st he was not loving the idea of therapy but now he asks “will I get the sane person again?” When I said yes he smiled.

Hello, thanks for reading my Bio. I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker and I obtained my first license in 2004. I am also a doctor of clinical and forensic psychology and have taught college level psychology in the past. I love being a psychotherapist because I love to see patients get to that place of resolution or confidence that they have the right coping skills for any situation. I am trained in the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, which I combine with Christian faith based techniques. I work with children as young as six, teenagers, adults, and seniors. A lot of my experience has been working with patients who are struggling with anxiety symptoms, depression, parenting challenges, blended family issues, trauma, work place stress, life transitions, to mention just a few. I look forward to talking with you about your particular situation.
