Personal Statement

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, Kansas and New Hampshire with over 20 years of experience. My PhD in Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis in Depth Psychology, has allowed me to deepen a level of competency and compassion for those hurting. I have worked in a range of settings that include residential treatment, psychiatric inpatient, drug and alcohol outpatient treatment programs, community based initiatives and private practice.

My counseling style is warm, interactive, empathic and attuned. I consider our time together sacred ground and take the courage and risk to reach out seriously. I do not subscribe to stigmatizing labels. My approach utilizes trauma informed cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and psychodynamic modalities. I have also completed a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training program and certification in mental health integrative medicine. As such, I will ensure we tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique, specific needs.

Treatment requests have focused on complex grief and loss, interpersonal difficulties, anxiety, depression, C-PTSD/PTSD and phase of life issues. 2020 was *also unprecedented- but I am prepared to recognize the impact it may have had on your life.
