HI! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arizona. I have been a master's level social worker for over 27 years, and I have been a LCSW for over 20 years. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community, and I can help guide you through struggles you may have in regard to sexual and/or gender identity. I also have great experience working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem and mood disorders. I look forward to teaming up with you to help you navigate options for change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session together will include introductions, and me asking questions to better understand what goals you may be looking at by seeking psychotherapy. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I see my job as a psychotherapist is to be a great listener, to help you sort out issues that you have control of and to provide you with tools and coping skills to build your ability to make change when you are ready. I do not fix clients. I will work hard with you to develop a strong treatment plan to help guide us in our sessions.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most common and best studied forms of psychotherapy. It is a combination of two therapeutic approaches, known as cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes clients’ strengths and resources to create positive change, focusing on present and future goals rather than past problems. It’s brief, goal-oriented, and emphasizes solutions rather than delving into underlying issues.
Strength-Based
A strength-based approach to therapy involves clients and therapists working together to use a client’s assets and abilities to instill a sense of purpose and happiness.1 Underlying a strengths-based approach is the belief that how people deal with challenges depends on their view of themselves and whether they see their strengths or their weaknesses.
