As a licensed clinical social worker with years of experience guiding people in decision making and through difficulties, I am passionate about helping others. I believe each individual holds the ability to make their goals and dreams come true, but many of us benefit from tools, accountability, and encouragement to guide us along the way.
My goal is to empower my clients using a strengths-based approach and have been trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). In particular, I work with tweens, teens, young adults and their parents or guardians, or individuals who have been affected by PSTD (post-traumatic stress disorder), anxiety & depression, grief, trauma, or chronic & terminal illness.
Additional areas of focus: Attachment issues, Blended family issues, Caregiver issues and stress, Chronic pain, illness, and disability, Communication problems, Coping with natural or human-caused disaster, Family of origin issues, First responder issues, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Mood disorders, Multicultural concerns, Post-traumatic stress, Women's issues, Young adult issues
