I have been a registered social worker for over 10 years and have worked with people experiencing various difficulties including social anxiety, separation anxiety, OCD, generalized anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parent-child conflict, school, emotion challenges and family conflict.
Brené Brown is quoted as saying: “Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you’re feeling. To have the hard conversations.” Therapy can be tough work. I hope to create a connection where clients can be vulnerable, feel heard and supported while working toward goals.

When our parenting journey does not meet our expectations, we can sometimes be left feeling depressed, overwhelmed, hopeless, fearful, and ashamed.
My goal is to provide a space in which women feel safe to fully express their pain without judgment. Utilizing empirically supported techniques, I help clients reengage in their life, clarify their values, modify unhelpful thinking patterns, cope with intense emotions, communicate more effectively, enhance problem-solving, and achieve greater acceptance.
