How long have you been at the Ben Gordon Center?
Since July, 2008

What you enjoy most about working at the Ben Gordon Center:
The clients and co-workers I am with on a daily basis.

Areas of specialty:
Training in Anxiety, cognitive behavioral therapy, eating disorders, crisis intervention and abuse and neglect through the Office of the Inspector General.

Therapeutic approaches:
I tailor my treatment based on the clients goals, needs, and recommendations of the client and possibly other medical professionals involved. Each client will help to determine their experience by involvement in the therapy process itself. I tend to focus on client-centered, CBT and motivational or supportive therapy.
