Life often presents us with many challenges and seeking help during those difficult times takes great courage. Trying to find an experienced therapist can be overwhelming and I hope reading a bit about me may be helpful in your search. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 40 years of experience. I received my masters in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and have completed advanced clinical training in Marital and Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and in understanding and working with trauma, both in childhood and throughout the life span.
I work with adults struggling with issues of anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, grief and loss, transition, addiction, chronic pain, trauma, and marital and family conflict. I see clients in individual therapy, and in couples, marital and family therapy. I am direct and truthful, yet very warm, nonjudgmental and compassionate.
I am married for 31 years and have two grown children and two grandchildren. In that way, I can also attest to life's joys and blessings and sorrows and challenges. These experiences in life, marriage and parenting further inform my work and practice as a therapist. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you further and answer any questions you may have.

I bill all insurance companies; however, I am only in network with BCBS. I have opted out of Medicare which allows me to see individuals 65 and over, however, it would be an out of pocket expense. Under certain circumstances, fee adjustment may be arranged.
