I have over 30 years experience providing counseling to a wide variety of adults including many persons with long standing, complex, and difficult problems that haven't responded well to treatment. I have extensive experience with the broadest diversity in treating depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, recovery from child and/or domestic abuse, crime survivors, including sexual abuse and rape.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who specializes in adolescent and adult group, family and individual therapy. I currently work full time at the Hennepin County Medical Center Partial Hospital Program, while maintaining a private practice using video conferencing in individual therapy in Minnesota and coaching elsewhere.
After 30 years of experience provide mental health services, I have developed six key concepts to a healthy life. Let me show you how to live the kind of life many of us only dream about, a life of passion about what is important. Let me show you the way through Full Impact Living!℠
I have a particular interest in mental health outcomes research and is pursuing this project to develop the potential of on-line research in mental health. You can download my resume here.
