Greetings
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the State of Wisconsin who has provided counseling services for more than 30 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I have a particular interest in serving people who are entering or within their senior years.
My counseling style is interactive and goal focused. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to confront an emotional challenge and work toward a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you in your journey toward change.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
