Great to meet you!

One of the most empowering factors in my life has been spending 32 years as an Air Force Military Spouse. This empowered me to grow and learn through lived experiences in diverse groups. I’ve been a clinical social worker and prior substance abuse counselor for 30+ years working in a public agency, private practice, and with the US Army at Fort Carson, Colorado and at SHAPE, Belgium. I work across all ages to include both adults and children. In addition to my MSW in clinical social worker, I have an advanced graduate degree in Infant and Early Childhood Special Education Leadership and a doctorate degree in Curriculum and Diversity Studies.

My approach to therapy

I take a solution focused systems approach to initially understand your struggles. I am well trained in the military community and their unique challenges and needs. I specialize working with PTSD, depression, and anxiety disorders.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will involve taking your history and exploring your initial motivation for treatment. This is when I initially meet “your voice and your story.”
