ABOUT ME

Thank you for considering me as your counselor.  I take a culturally humble approach.  I continually learn and enjoy my encounters with others.

​

As a clinical social worker, I believe in joining with you on your journey towards health and well being.  Many times in life we feel stuck or overwhelmed by decisions and tasks.  Coping skills that may have worked as a child or younger person are no longer helping us get through.  In therapy, we can explore together your experiences and history and look for solutions and new coping skills to manage the many challenges that life brings us. 

 

I am experienced with different approaches including mindfulness, trauma informed treatment, and cognitive behavioral therapy.  I will bring these skills and experience to our sessions to help find what resonates with you as we develop a treatment plan and goals.  If you are looking to make a change, counseling is a big step towards creating a more fulfilling, healthy, and satisfying life.  I would be honored to share in that journey with you.  

EXPERIENCE

I have been in the field since 1995.  I have worked in a variety of practice setting including transitional housing programs, child welfare and adoptions, home health, and medical social work.  I have had the privilege to work with a variety of individuals, families, and couples.
