Hi I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals and families seeking help with one or more of the following: addiction, parenting, couple, foster care, school issues, and the military family's unique challenges. I have had the privilege to witness families grow in their ability to communicate their feelings and needs positively which enhances their relationships with each other
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session my first question is " How can I help? I listen,. I then begin to gather information and explain possible approaches to address the client's concern.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength that I bring as a provider is my extensive experience working with individuals, couples, children and families in a variety of settings with a wide range of issues. I am very fortunate to continue to have a love for my work.

l feel privileged to have found effective ways of helping parents and their children to ease through some difficult passages in their lives. I use multiple approaches including , family therapy, positive parenting techniques and play therapy.

I observe the system of communication between the couple and assist the couple to become aware of any "stuck" areas. This gives the couple the opportunity to go beyond any initial anger and experience once again feelings of intimacy.
