I am licensed in Florida with 27 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

My main approach is "cognitive behavioral therapy," because it's often how we see things that make our suffering. It almost always helps to take a close look at our "self talk." I have a healthy respect for the ways in which our "animal brain" governs behavior without our awareness. I often will invite you to take a very close look at what seems to be happening now. My life experience is rich with problems many of us face. Anger, communication difficulties, deciding to stay or leave a relationship, seeing a loved one in addiction, anxiety or depression that lowers our functioning. Loss. Grief. Toxic parents. Aging. Chronic pain. I think we are more prone to isolation now. And we judge ourselves for things that are actually beyond our control. I would prefer that we appreciate how precious and worthy we actually are. It's often hard to disclose what we are suffering so even the idea of therapy is scary. We want someone else to "fix it" for us, but soon learn it's going to take some work. Don't give up or settle for a certain level of miserable. Nourish curiosity and personal growth. Perhaps you know you need to talk to somebody but you aren't sure you can afford a subscription. The "warm line" for Salt Lake County, is 801 587-1055. Outside of SLCo, but in Utah, the warm line is 833 773-2588. Responders are peer specialists and can offer support almost 24/7. This is not part of BetterHelp, and is free. If you decide to work with me, complete the "information form" and explore the app enough to schedule our first session. BetterHelp works best if you update the operating system on your Android or iPhone, or use Chrome on your laptop or desktop. Explore until you find "video session test" which offers a chance to see what we look like when our camera is working. It checks to see if mike, speakers, and internet strength are sufficient. A BetterHelp session is intended to be 30 or 45 minutes duration. I prefer 45 min. If you come on board today, the scheduling app will not let you schedule as soon as there is an opening. Except for Mondays and some holidays, or if I am ill, I check the platform daily to catch your messages. I look forward to working with you.
