Choose Wellbeing

I am an LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) and Life Coach.  My formal education includes a Bachelors and Masters in Social Work and a Masters of Arts and Doctorate in Ministry/Living Mindfully. I believe in a holistic approach of practice from a strengths perspective, helping clients tap into their inner wisdom. My education and life experience has helped inform me in providing the services listed below. 

In my work with individuals, I utilize a holistic approach to wellbeing for people seeking quality of life.  I work with people who have depression, anxiety and/or are  having difficulty dealing with life transitions/changes such as retirement, divorce, change of jobs, empty next…  I offer a sacred space (virtually) where people come to experience support and healing of body, mind and spirit.  I use both traditional & contemporary/alternative approaches to therapy and I meet clients where they are and together we create a plan of care.  I am in network with several health insurance companies.  If you don’t have insurance or don't want to use your insurance my self pay rate is $125.00 (I do have a sliding fee if needed).  I offer one free 15 minute consultation.

I offer life coaching based on the philosophy of living with simplicity.  I encourage people to discover what feeds their spirit, makes their heart sing and fuels their passion.  They work towards finding joy in the simpleness of everyday living and eventually find their own path to simplicity and discover what truly matters.  Coaching is self pay and not covered by insurance.  My fee for 60 minutes is $125.
