“I work with individuals on issues that include depression, anxiety, crisis management, life transitions, stigma, addictive behaviors, aging, chronic illness, and loss and bereavement.”
What was your path to becoming a therapist?
Since 1992, I have worked in the field of social work. I have helped socially-disenfranchised individuals and communities through direct clinical practice and community engagement. Since 2008, I have been in private practice and in 2018, I returned to school for my BSN. I currently work part-time serving chemically-dependent individuals.

What do you do to continue learning and building competencies as a provider?
To continue to provide the best services possible, I actively pursue knowledge through reading, continuing education, and consulting with other professionals in the field.

I work with individuals on issues that include depression, anxiety, crisis management, life transitions, stigma, addictive behaviors, aging, chronic illness, and loss and bereavement. I offer long-term psychotherapy and short-term counseling to adults of all ages. I approach each therapy relationship individually, so treatment meets your specific needs.
