I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and graduate of Washington University in St. Louis. For 30+ years I have dedicated my work to women, adolescents and young adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, risky-behaviors and sexuality concerns. I thrive on creating positive therapeutic relationships where my clients feel safe, heard, understood and accepted; as well as supported and empowered to address their life challenges, whatever they may be. My goal is to consistently partner with/support clients in prioritizing their needs and working towards goals by using a pragmatic, empathetic, motivational and solution-focused approach. Destigmatization of mental health is all around us. I focus on bringing an energy that sparks/maintains the desire for others to seek a brighter future rooted in health & wellbeing.
