I am a compassionate licensed professional therapist/supervisor with over 20 years of professional work experience; including private practice; in home; and hospital settings. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and creating a safe; nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts; feelings; and experiences. I specialize in areas such as depression; anxiety; relationship issues; eating disorders; trauma; and life transitions. I utilize evidence and solution based approaches including CBT and DBT; to foster self-awareness; develop healthy coping skills; and facilitate positive change.

I have been a clinical social worker for over 30 years and have authored 16 publications and am currently on the faculty of a state university. My clinical expertise is in the areas of individual; couples and family work. I am particularly skilled in treating anxiety; depression; stress; intimate relationship conflict and trauma. I have found live video sessions work best in terms of client progress; the more regular the better so if you only want a text plan or monthly live sessions another therapist is perhaps a better match. My approach is work collaboratively with my clients as partners on your journey.

With over 20 years of experience; I utilize a client centered; cognitive behavioral approach which can be adapted to incorporate a client's spiritual and/or religious beliefs. I work with individuals of all ages who are struggling with relationships; mental health concerns; substance use; and other emotional challenges. While presenting issues may include work/life balance; sexuality; substance use; trauma; stress; or family dynamics; I will provide the non-judgmental means in which to explore any and all related concerns. I provide a respectful; culturally sensitive; safe space in which to change and grow.
