As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a retired librarian, I enjoy connecting people with the information they need to better understand their mental health challenges, set personal goals, and successfully navigate life role/transitions. Clients who are looking for a mature social worker, someone who can facilitate discussions about mental health challenges and suggest new opportunities for healthy skill building, are encouraged to give my friendly, professional coaching style a try. I offer early morning, weekend, and evening meeting times to fit your needs, flexible billing options, and professional support navigating life changes and the feelings that come with them.

 I provide clients with professional guidance so they can better understand their treatment options (CBT, ACT, psychoeducation) and the benefits of using these tools to better manage their mental health (anxiety, anger, ADHD/Autism, depressed mood, phase of life changes, couples/relationships). I enjoy working with clients who want a counselor who can facilitate a discussion about their wants/needs and life goals. The purpose for this education based counseling style is to help clients find new ways to leverage their strengths so they can better understand the benefits of building new skill sets that move them toward their personal goals.
