Hello I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing in the field of Social Work for over 30 years.

I have helped people change their behavior and thinking so they can reach their potential, achieve their goals and heal emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

First session

the first session I focus on rapport building , getting to know the client and their expectations for therapy. Exploring what their goals are and the outcomes they are looking for. I generally complete a bio psycho social assessment along with a treatment plan.

I am a compassionate, client centered and solution based therapist who is interested in being a positive influence and an instrument for emotional healing. I am compassionate, empathic and supportive.

Ideal clients

I can best help individuals, families, couples, LGBTQ + who are struggling with life transition, purpose, communication and conflict resolution. Help people learn how to positively cope with stress, anxiety, depression or other emotional distress. I am skilled at providing parenting skills training. I enjoy helping children and adolescent navigate the challenges of developing in a ever changing world that seem uncertain and unpredictable. I want to help families, couples, individuals, children and adolescents to created a life worth living. I solution focused therapy who enjoys teach positive ways to cope and grow to become the best person you can be.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My theoretical background is CBT but I am an eclectic provider and will use modalities that are client centered and will help clients improve or decrease distressing symptoms. I have used CBT with clients who have anxiety, depression, and addiction issues to name a few. I help the client to identify behavioral patterns and their irrational thoughts to help them move towards desiring change and taking actions to change.

I appreciated my first session with Aspen and the way they were able to direct the session, speak clear reflections back to me, share insights about my experiences, hold a safe space, and engage a proactive approach to helping me meet my goals. I'm grateful to be starting this journey with Aspen.

Aspen is a great fit for me because they strike a wonderful balance of being analytical yet warm. If you actualy want to get the most out of your therapy and not just waste your time I highly recomend them.

My partner and I have had a few sessions with Aspen now and we really have seen so much progress from just those few sessions in such a short amount of time. Aspen is direct and authentic and really holds a safe space for us to work through very vulnerable topics but also holds us accountable and challenges us on what we both need to work on. They also positively reinforce both our individual and collaborative strengths, making us feel empowered and seen.
