About Judy

She has more than 35 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes.

She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify practical steps and build on what already works for them. Her approach is direct and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on small, manageable changes that can ease day-to-day strain. Sessions focus on strengths and immediate problem-solving rather than long-term analysis.

She has worked as an educator, community organizer, mediator, trainer, and social worker in U.S. cities and many countries abroad. This wide experience informs her work with multicultural concerns and complex life situations.
She has a long history of disaster response and community crisis work, including volunteer mental health work with the American Red Cross and training related to disaster and humanitarian emergencies. That practical experience informs her sensitivity to the needs of people coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Judy works with people across a range of challenges including adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer and hospice situations, workplace stress, and questions of life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be accepted.
How solution-focused work translates to online sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, actionable steps that move a person toward their goals. In practice this means setting a clear, short-term goal, noticing exceptions when the problem is less severe, and trying simple strategies that build on strengths. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship communication, and coping after major events.Judy’s work draws on practical problem-solving and a focus on strengths. She will collaborate with each person to choose an approach that fits their needs and pace. Together they decide which methods suit the problem, goals, and personal preferences rather than relying on a single fixed technique.
Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, whether by saving commute time or allowing a quicker check-in between commitments.
