My communication style

Clients have said they find me to be "a real person". I strive to be authentic and down to earth. I handle big emotions and big problems. I see a crisis as an opportunity for change and growth. Sessions sometimes include anger or tears, but often laughter and happiness, too.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've worked in many settings in my 20+ years as a social worker and really enjoy connecting with clients and seeing growth and change, in spite of circumstances that are often very overwhelming. I like bringing order to chaos and helping people focus on what is most meaningful and valuable in their lives.

My goals for you

When confronted with a big life problem, it's sometimes overwhelming and hard to know where to begin. Good goals begin with clarity of the situation, an understanding of what pieces are in one's ability to control, and in managing one's emotions related to the problem. My job is to help clients sort through these pieces and make a plan of action.

Our first session

The first session is spent gaining information about the issue the client wants to address. Perhaps most importantly, it's an opportunity for clients to decide if this is a "good fit" for them and to get at least one strategy for immediate relief.
