Welcome to my psychotherapy practice.  I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience working with people to make their lives better.  In addition to my clinical training, I bring my down-to-earth Midwestern style, sense of humor, philosophical and practical approach, and love of helpful metaphors to my work with clients.  

Although my training and experience have prepared me to treat a broad array of mental health issues, people referred into my practice are most often dealing with concerns around parenting, grief and loss, relationship issues, separation and divorce, medical illness, pregnancy/birth and postpartum issues, family crisis, anxiety and depression, and both ordinary and extraordinary stress.  I also provide supervision and peer consultation.  I work with anyone over age 12 and use individual and family modalities. 

Because I take a wholistic approach to evaluating a particular problem, my assessments take into account biological, family dynamic, environmental, lifestyle and other factors.  I work closely and collaboratively with other involved professionals to ensure my clients receive the best treatment possible.
