About

Healing is a natural process but when difficult emotions and behaviors interfere with healing, I assist clients with identifying paths to reestablish improved well-being and achieve an enhanced quality of life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping clients live happy and fulfilling lives. I graduated with my Master’s Degree in Social Work in 1991. The foundation of my training and experience has been with individuals working to heal from traumatizing experiences, loss, and overall major life adjustment issues. Unaddressed emotions can underlie and undermine the feeling of overall well-being. I utilize an eclectic approach to assist clients to learn coping strategies and heal from their experiences. Through the use of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic theoretical approaches, I work with clients to reduce and manage symptoms and problems such as anxiety, depression, impulsivity, strained personal and/or professional relationships, changed sleeping or eating behaviors, poor school or work performance, moodiness, difficulty making decisions, feelings of indifference, physiological changes such as headaches, digestive troubles, muscle tension, lowered energy level, and/or using alcohol or other substances to alter emotions.
