Life happens. And sometimes it can feel so overwhelming. Being able to process your fears, concerns, and uncertainties with someone else can help make dealing with difficult times more manageable . It has been my privilege for over 30 years to journey with individuals going through their rough moments. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have enjoyed working in the areas of Mental Health, Intellectually Developmentally Delayed, Geriatrics, Long-Term Care and hospice/palliative care. I specialize in supporting clients through chronic and terminal illness, trauma events, and complicated grief, with a specialty in working with the veteran and LGBTQ+ elder communities. DEGREES: Doctor of Social Work - Capella University (2019) Masters of Social Work degree - University of Kansas (1996) Bachelor of Social Work degree - Colorado State University (1989). US Army Reserve from 1988 – 1996

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, review your initial assessments, and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a tailored plan to help guide our work together in follow-up sessions.

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

My extensive journey working with individuals dealing with aging, life transitions, chronic illness and end-of-life planning empowers me to provide ongoing quality and impactful therapeutic support to my clients.

My treatment methods

Strength-Based

When dealing with challenging emotional situations, it can be easy to only see the barriers and feelings of weakness. It is important to be encouraged to also take inventory of your strengths and incorporate these into the therapeutic journey.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT can help you to change unhelpful or unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling and behaving through the use of practical self-help strategies that are designed to help improve your quality of life.

Narrative

Narrative therapy seeks to help you become aware of the stories you carry with you through life and how these stories can influence the way you view yourself. It can empower you to take back your personal narrative through a process known as re-authoring.

Grief Therapy

Grief therapy's primary purpose is to help individuals process emotions and cope with loss through creating a safe environment for exploring grief-related challenges, fostering resilience, and supporting the development of coping skills for the present and future.

Trauma Informed Care

Trauma-informed care is an approach that recognizes and responds to the long-term effects of trauma on individuals. It creates a safe and supportive environment and tailors interventions to meet individual needs.
