Hello- I received my Master's in Clinical Social Work from the University of Chicago and have been practicing clinical counseling and treatment in California for over 25 years. I work especially well with women, couples and families experiencing conflict, grief and stress in the transitions in life. I also enjoy using a holistic approach to my sessions and can include a Christian focus when requested.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions
Having worked with individuals, couples, and families for over 20 years, I have developed skills to work with clients to help them identify their challenges, put some steps into place to create change and make progress toward accomplishing their personal goals.
I enjoy working with women who are struggling to find their identity after their children grow up and launch. Also, I work well with couples who may be experiencing marital conflict. I especially enjoy working with clients who are seeking a change and motivated to work on that seeing that change happen.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Looking at one's thoughts, behaviors and emotions can assist them in restructuring their thoughts and beliefs in order to change course of action and improve mood.
Couples Counseling
I enjoy working with couples on conflict management, emotionally focused therapy and life transitions.
