I work with children ages 8 and older, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I utilize an eclectic variety of therapeutic approaches in an effort to facilitate change in the individuals I am treating. While I mainly use traditional talk therapy I also use Neurofeedback and EMDR I work with a number of issues to include, but not limited to, trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and inappropriate sexual behaviors (adult and adolescents)
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider I am trained and have received board approval to provide training and supervision for those candidates who are seeking licensure as an LCSW and for those candidates seeking to become a CSOTP. I provide supervision, mentorship, training, guidance, and consultation for those individuals under my supervision. I believe in helping a candidate grow, learn and develop into a skilled, competent, and ethical therapist. I encourage independence, growth, and individuality within the therapeutic setting. If you are looking for an opportunity for growth and development feel free to reach out to me so we can discuss if I would be a good fit for you.
Psychosexual evaluations are focused on an individual’s sexual development, sexual history, sexual paraphilic interests, fantasies, sexual attitudes, and sexual acting out behaviors. It also includes a full social and family history, school history, past/current mental health issues, treatment history, case formulation, and clinical treatment recommendations. This evaluation can aid in the development of supervision and treatment recommendations that focus on community safety as well as successful treatment for the individual. I work with individuals from the ages of 11 to 18. This evaluation is specific to provide recommendations for appropriate treatment, identify interventions that will be most effective, risk levels, risk factors, willingness to comply with treatment, identifying strengths and protective or prosocial factors.
It is important to note that this evaluation cannot predict future offenses, however, psychosexual evaluations can help assist in determining risk levels. Also, important sources of information may include police reports, court documents, victim statements, prior treatment records, and parental (guardian) interview if possible.
Psychosexual evaluations are not covered by Insurance.
Psychosexual Evaluation Fee is $1,100
I also work with adolescents who have demonstrated inappropriate sexual behaviors (court, DSS, foster care, or private referrals). I work with these individuals to help them understand the impact of their behavior on not only the victim(s) but also on themselves and the families involved. I help them develop empathy, identify triggers to their behaviors, develop new coping skills for these behaviors, identify interventions that will be most effective for each individual, strengths of the individual and protective or prosocial factors. We also focus on rules of consent/laws regarding sexual behavior. I also work with adults who are experiencing issues related to Pornography, Sex Addiction, Erectile Dysfunction, Sexual Issues, and Infidelity.
