About My Clients

I work with individuals, couples and families ages 13-99 years old that are working on phase of life and adjustment issues, communication, social anxiety and skills building, anxiety, depression, dealing with past or current trauma, survivors of domestic violence, assault, war or PTSD of any kind. I help clients to increase, communication, coping, stress and anger management skills in a non-judgmental environment.

My Background and Approach

I received my Masters in Social Work with a minor in child abuse in 2000 and my License as a Clinical Social Worker in 2008. I utilize the approaches and therapies of strengths perspective, motivational interviewing but mostly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and some with trauma focus with some clients. Ready to take the next step in life but something holding you back? Past trauma, fear of failure, toxic people around you, communication/self esteem issues? I can help you have and work toward your best life! Ready to glow up your life as an individual, a couple and family? I focus on the positives and from a strengths based perspective as we all have so many good attributes in us that we often don't see. I have happily experienced motherhood later in life, now having 3 children beginning at 45 years old so I want others to know they can do things even when outside forces make things difficult. I can help you achieve your dreams too, they are not out of reach!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I work and support all races, am a LBGTQ+ ally and wish racism, homophobia, misogyny and sexism did not exist but am here to help people work through through them considering it does in this crazy world we live in. I love to travel and am often visiting other countries over the summer when my kids are out of school and have moved to Spain permanently since 2024.
