Introduction

I provide telehealth services to individuals struggling with trauma, work related stressors, relationship issues, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and difficult life transitions. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Strength-based, and Personal Centered approaches. Christian counseling is also incorporated in therapy per request. In addition to my practice, I have worked in the fast-paced hospital setting as a Medical Social Worker for 21 years. Honing in and assessing the needs of patients who are often in crisis, dealing with chronic or terminal illnesses and diagnoses, grief, homelessness, financial issues and death are many issues I assist with to name a few. I also assist patients in navigating the often time complex issues within the health system.
