Whether it be situational life stressors, anxiety, depression, grief, or life stages I enjoy supporting others in a safe and non-judgmental way. I am a licensed Clinical Therapist and have been a practicing Social Worker for 27 years. I strive to support individuals, couples and families to feel supported and understood. My intention is to guide others in achieving their goals to nourish health and wellness.
I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, families and adolescents in relation to various mental health and life stages related issues. I am WPATH certified and offer Gender Affirming Care throughout my practice.
I strive to offer a collaborative approach to treatment, working alongside my clients to support them in achieving their goals.
