I have over 25 years as a clinical social worker using a variety of approaches based upon the individual's situation. I focus on positive, strength-based solutions when working with children, adolescents and adults.

I believe that it is important for the individual and therapist to work together as a team to achieve the client's personal goals.

Current client openings. I like thinking about therapy as an expedition. Pretend you decide to row across the Atlantic, for instance. What a brave goal! Something draws you to it, despite your fear. You know you will encounter both the dark, turbulent nights as well as the calm, colorful days. To do this safely, you decide you could use a companion, a fellow-traveler. More than anything, you want poised connection with self, nature and other; a growing of your edges, and certainly the healing that follows naturally in its wake.

I strive to genuinely understand your experiences—we will work together to make sense and meaning out of your experiences and identify persistent, uncomfortable emotions which may hinder your ability to live a full and effective life, in the here and now. By examining experiences and arriving at a sense of “making sense,” you are able to have a keener awareness of your needs and purpose in life. My background is well suited to assisting clients in attending to the inter-connected aspects of mind, body, and spirit.

Life is a maze of ups and downs, we are taught to push away the downs and "keep moving" without acknowledging our true feelings and needs. Before you know it, fear, anxiety, trauma, depression, self doubt begin to take over and guide our decision making process. Your truth, who you are, and what you want starts to get lost, life becomes exhausting, unsatisfying and lonely. How might it feel to safely explore and validate your emotions and needs? Deepen your understanding of who you are and how you function through exposure to thoughts, feelings and behaviors that take over and create dysfunction in your life.

In the adult client, I especially enjoy witnessing one's ability to reject ineffective patterns of thinking in order to reach and sustain personal growth. Facing what we find to recognize either by internal or external forces that needs correction, is the first step in the process of effecting change. In adolescents, a shift to effect change can be a bit more challenging but no fault of theirs. Helping clients to navigate the life courses; expected and unexpected can be an exciting process to experience.

** I am not currently accepting new clients, but will update when I have openings.** Sometimes life can be challenging. Kids don't always know how to manage difficult transitions or feelings by using their words. Instead, an unhappy or anxious child may present with behaviors that are upsetting. I can help discover underlying issues and guide young people in finding ways to better express what is on their minds.
