I have been in the practice of Social Work many years. I have a thirst for learning and I greet change with open arms. I completed my training as a nurse at age 55 and have incorporated my nursing skills with my years of Social Work training and experience. During this time I have learned that all people have their answers inside and my job is to help them recognize and build on those answers. Having experienced many situations in my own life I’ve learned to persist and sometimes back up and regroup. I have a lot of joy in my life and hope to help you find yours. I offer animal assisted therapy with Teddy, 5 yo Wheaten Terrier.
I work with clients age 18 and above. Young adults are inspiring and energizing. I have worked with different groups of people and ages in my career, and looking back, I can't choose any one group. I enjoy working with people facing life’s seasons and also those who may be struggling with caregiving either aging parents or partners.
You are the most valuable person in your life. You can find a way to resolve the problems you are struggling with. I'm bold and adventurous and I love to laugh. I can be direct and I really believe in the worth of of all God's creatures and respect that worth. If you are tired of struggling alone I would be honored to help you find your answers.

I seem to attract a large number of trauma survivors. I spend the first couple of sessions getting to know you and letting you get to know me. I am open and nurturing. My initial goal is for my clients to develop a sense that they are not alone in their struggles. I am eclectic in methods and try to use the methods that work best for the client.

I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy along with EMDR, Radical Acceptance Training, and Jungian Dream Work including journaling and Art Therapy. I aim to develop a strong rapport, to be relatable and fun. I use humor in my work along with analogies and vignettes yet I approach self defeating behaviors directly but with empathy. Hopefully you will feel safe, supported and energized!
