Supporting you on your path towards wellness is my goal. Are you an adult who may be successful in most areas of life, but may find yourself struggling with the many complicated and stressful challenges in life? Is it harder to recognize and experience joy because of these challenges? I am a licensed clinical independent social worker, and have been practicing in the field since the early 2000s.

YOU CANNOT DIRECT THE WIND BUT YOU CAN ADJUST THE SAILS –Dolly Parton Life is like a river. It can flow smoothly and peacefully and other times rough and rocky with unexpected turbulence or obstacles crossing our path, making us unstable, vulnerable, and scared. Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, chronic illness or pain? Do you feel “stuck” in unhealthy behavior patterns? Suffer from a work/life balance, a breakdown in communication or conflict in relationships? Are you going through or have been divorced, mid-life or retirement transition, or coping with loss?

I specialize in helping people who feel stuck in unhelpful thought patterns, behaviors, or challenging situations that seem to persist. Facing life's obstacles can often feel like wading through knee-deep sand—expending much energy with little result. Everyone encounters tough times, and while you may have successfully navigated past challenges, there are moments when seeking support can make a difference. I offer the guidance and partnership you need to navigate whatever life throws at you, ensuring you don't have to face it alone.

Are you seeking personal growth or professional development to address barriers to desired outcomes? Interested in living a life of purpose and meaning through choice and action?
