I am currently living in Missouri with my husband, 2 dogs, and our cat. I am a military spouse and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I completed my undergraduate degree in social work at the University of Alaska, and my Masters of Social Work degree, at the University of Maine. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first appointment we will talk about the specifics of what is bringing you into therapy, and go over history information such as family history. We talk about your goals for therapy and talk about a plan to help us work towards your goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I want to help you navigate through difficult moments and support you in finding ways to grow, shift thoughts and behaviors that are no longer helpful and are interfering with your life. By working together on getting to the root of an issue we can figure out what is working, what’s not working, and how to start making changes that are inline with how you want to be living your life. I believe that an important part of therapy is having a good therapeutic relationship, someone who can support you in making change.
