I'd love to hop on a free call with you to find out the best way to support you!

What is your educational background?
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Masters of Science in Social Administration (aka social work).  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in a private psychotherapy practice.  I have been practicing clinical social work for over 10 years.

What is your favorite form of self care?
I love a good bubble bath!  I also love reading and going for a walk.  My favorite way to exercise of late is the Aaptiv app.  #obsessed


Can you tell me more about your monthly self care workbook?

Each issue of My Self Care Bestie covers a different mental health, therapy, or wellness topic.  On the first day of each month, you’ll receive the latest issue packed with:
Several interventions and activities that relate to the month’s topic (19 pages worth, to be exact!)

Coordinating printable handouts and worksheets

The same advice, encouragement and support I offer my clients – but for a fraction of the cost of an office visit! We’re talkin’ close to ONE TENTH the cost! 

PLUS, you’ll be able to share what YOU want the next month’s topic to be in a members-only Facebook group where you can also connect with your fellow Besties to share your progress, if you choose.  

You can learn more or subscribe HERE.

Can you recommend any good self care books?
Lately I’ve been loving Present Over Perfect by Shauna Niequist, The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown, and Choose Joy by Kay Warren.    And of course, MY new book:  31 Days To Managing Your Moods.  🙂

Where can I buy your fun self care worksheets and printables?
SO glad you asked! 😉  You can shop all the self care printables your heart desires in my etsy shop.  I appreciate your business! 

Can you be my therapist?
Because laws concerning online therapy vary from place to place, I can’t technically do therapy with you (unless you live in Connecticut, in which case I’d be happy to see you in my office!).  However, I do offer check-ins via Skype, Facetime or phone.  Click here to see my current rates.

Got a question for me?  Ask away!!
