Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker in practice for 30 years. I work with clients is to help assess strengths and insight toward discovering strategies to better understand the self and move toward healthier ways of managing life’s challenges. I used mindfulness based approaches as well as CBT in my work. I have school systems experience. In addition I work with those struggling with addiction, LGBTQ, parenting and life transitions. I am currently in training to provide treatment using EMDR

A bit about my approach to therapy

mindfulness based strategies assist in understanding what would benefit from changing and how to make it happen.
