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

My approach to therapy

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

What you can expect from me
