Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I bring a personal understanding, grounded in professional experience; it can be exhausting to have to think about your health while simultaneously trying to be a partner, parent, professional, friend, and yourself.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I'm naturally curious about people and genuinely interested in understanding how they see and experience the world. I tend to build rapport easily and bring warmth and authenticity to my relationships with clients. I also appreciate humor and believe that, when it feels appropriate to the client, laughter and lightness can coexist with difficult conversations. My personality allows me to be both compassionate and genuine while creating a space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves. This is particularly important when working with people navigating chronic illness or significant life changes, where feeling understood without being defined by a diagnosis can be an important part of the therapeutic relationship.

Professional Background
LicensureVirginia, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, 0904006112
Education
The University of Denver, Master of Social Work, Direct/Clinical Services, 1999 — The Master of Social Work (MSW) program at the University of Denver prioritized grassroots social work, ensuring that students acquired the fundamental skills to make a substantial impact on individuals, communities, systems, and policy. As a second-year student, I selected the pathway for direct services and benefited from specialized training provided by the Denver Family Institute. This comprehensive approach, encompassing classroom instruction, specialized training, and field education, equipped me with the necessary skills for a fulfilling career in working with individuals, families, communities, and organizations.
Work HistoryWhen your health changes, your whole life can change ~ including your relationships, your work, your future, and how you see yourself, With more than 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker across a variety of ages, settings, and levels of care, I have worked with individuals and families facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. Over time, I have developed a particular interest in helping individuals navigate the psychological and emotional impact of chronic medical conditions and significant health changes. My work focuses on the often-overlooked experience of adapting to changes in identity, relationships, independence, work, and expectations for the future. I help individuals navigate grief, anxiety, identity, and life transitions so they can build a meaningful life within their new reality.
