I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work Therapist with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and life coach certifications . My clinical focus is on reducing stress, anxiety and depression, coping with life transitions (such as parenting, infidelity, retirement, aging parents) supporting recovery from addictions, healing trauma, improving self-worth and building self-esteem. My clients are women and men, including young adults seeking professional support. With every client, my intent is to provide a nonjudgmental space where one feels safe to process and feel heard. I am passionate about working collaboratively with clients and will tap into their inner strengths for coping. Methods of treatment I use in my practice include Cognitive Behavior Therapy(CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT), EMDR and Motivational Interviewing. In 1978 I graduated with B.S. from Purdue University and Indiana University in 2004 with Masters in Social Work (MSW). Most of my clinical work has been in an inpatient and outpatient addictions treatment hospital working with adults, adolescents and families who need all levels of care. It is the hospital setting where I realized the power of recovery and healing when support and hope were present. I am a licensed as a Licensed Social Worker(LSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) through the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency. LSW license number is 33008542A LCSW license number is 34009003A In my free time, I enjoy biking/ walking in nature, being with husband of 40 years, our four adult children and their families. My interests include gardening, reading all genre but mostly professional material and philosophy, travel, history and laughing with good friends! Clients have told me they feel less stress after one session . Please call me today to set up a free 10-minute chat so you can determine if I can help you! TELEHEALTH SESSIONS AVAILABLE
