I am a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 29 years of experience providing therapy and coaching to individuals navigating life’s challenges. I support clients experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting struggles, career transitions, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and the lasting effects of physical and emotional trauma. Many of the individuals I work with seek relief from emotional distress, greater clarity during times of transition, improved relationships, and a deeper sense of balance and fulfillment.I earned my master’s degree in social work from St. Ambrose University. My approach is eclectic and individualized, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational emotive therapies. I focus on strengths, practical solutions, and skill-building in a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment that supports resilience and growth.I recognize that beginning therapy takes courage, and you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Whether you are working through a difficult season or pursuing personal growth, I am here to support and empower you. When you are ready, I invite you to take the next step and begin a collaborative journey toward a more balanced and fulfilling life Education and training Years in practice 29 years Graduating Institute St. Ambrose University Graduating Degree Master of Social Work No upcoming openings No upcoming openings ×
