My Process

I believe in a mindful state, with positive reinforcement and coaching, individuals can find answers within themselves and make changes that enable them to reach personal and professional goals. I may share books that have been helpful to me and that I believe would enhance your progress and motivation in therapy. When appropriate, I use references of literature, art and interpretation of your dreams. We can work in a variety of ways; face to face, phone, text, emails and chat are some of the mediums.

As an Independently Licensed Clinical Social Worker in WA. NY and FL, I have provided psychotherapy and coaching for 20 years in a vast array of settings including private practice. My education and training allow me to approach problems with skills utilizing evidence-based methods. My PhD studies provide an expertise in the East/West Psychology of Change which brought me to Southeast Asia, where I lived and worked for three years. In therapy, I utilize a combination of approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, acceptance/commitment, psychoanalysis and DBT mindfulness. If desired, we can work with a fusion perspective of Eastern philosophies such as Buddhism and Western theories. Incorporating the work of Virginia Satir, Pat Love’s Imago Dialogue and the Triangle Theory of Love, couple therapy focuses on educating individuals on how they can change patters of collusion, lack of trust, unhealthy boundaries and diminished communication.

As a note for Colleagues, I am a Qualified Mental Health Supervisor in WA and FL. Feel free to reach out for supervision or support.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I look forward to learning about you.
