Hello, I am an experienced MSW, LCSW with 30+ years of experience providing therapy and social services in a wide range of clinical settings: individual/group therapy, emergency crisis counseling, EAP and inpatient psychiatric hospitals. I have experience working with individuals, men and women, adolescents, couples and families. I have expertise working with clients/families dealing with bipolar, schizophrenia, anxiety, OCD, depression, adjustment disorders, anger, grief/loss, and family and medical issues. Personal info: Married 33 years, 4 children, 9 grandchildren. I enjoy cycling, fishing and visiting family. I am an active, healthy cancer survivor. I am retired, and my most recent full-time position; a medical case manager. I have a very flexible open schedule. I am a genuine- easy-going, non-judgmental person. I believe everyone has value and worth.

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

First session is an introduction process -- with goal of introducing myself and my general process of providing therapy sessions.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

My primary focus in therapy is Solution Based Therapy -- Identifying Issues/problems . Identifying and reviewing formative situations/ experiences. Identifying goals ,evaluating life balance issues. Looking for road blocks and begin developing positive actions to promote growth and healthy living.

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

I believe my 30+ years of experience is probably my most valuable asset. I also feel that my nonjudgmental viewpoint is very helpful and positive. And I believe that people certainly can use help navigating their problems-- but I think the best solutions in life are developed by people for themselves.
