My ideal client is motivated to work and understand the issues before them. They are able to take real talk, sprinkled with a little good natured sarcasm and humor, to tackle their challenges. I enjoy working with law enforcement and those who have served, but welcome anyone that feels that I might be a good fit for them. Any client that sees me should anticipate real talk about their current situations and reasons for seeking treatment. They will also soon know that they'll receive genuine compassion and solution focused conversations, to move them to a better place than where they were when they began the journey with me.
I have spent nearly 18 years loving my work as a social worker in a maximum security prison. My passion became the well being of corrections officers, law enforcement, first responders and those who have served our country. My insight into that unique culture will allow for real talk, without having to try to explain "the job". A great starting point!
If you are looking for straight talk and a little bit of humor, please reach out. I began this career to help ANYONE that is struggling. During my career in the prison system, I have seen burn out and watched people struggle every day who aren't comfortable talking about the realities of the job. See if I might be a good fit for you, I might actually get it.

Prior to becoming a forensic social worker, I spent 6 years working with victims of sexual assault, of all ages and genders. I began working in the prison system in 2008, which has been an experience that no class could have prepared me for. The combination leaves me feeling ready for anything.

I have a passion for those working in law enforcement, corrections, first responders, and military veterans. My heart beats for those in those roles. Even so, I became a therapist to help ANYONE that I can, so I am prepared to assist with identifying difficulties and working together to find practical ways to handle those difficulties every day.

I will base my treatment decision on what we are able to establish as key issues for you. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to talk about how your thoughts affect your emotions, which often directly impact behaviors. Your experiences and/or interpretations will become easier to manage, when reframed, with a plan for handling them in the future.
