As a Registered Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist, I provide professional support to individuals, families, health teams, and organizations. For 20 years I have worked with individuals at critical points in their lives. Coping with difficult life transitions can be challenging for many reasons.

Helping you find motivation and/or clarity is driven by both of us. I am here to help, regardless of complexity - let us start together.

I lost 100lbs and currently kept it off for eight years (I started August 15, 2012). I remember at my heaviest weight, I wanted to talk to someone who had been there, done that & understood I so badly wanted to change and my frustration at not changing. I wanted someone who could quiet my mind when it worried about my weight and help me gain control of my body and life. I know what it's like to start losing weight, only to abandon the effort shortly thereafter. If you repeat that pattern and put your health and quality of life at risk, then you likely feel that there are issues that need to be addressed psychologically - I can help!

You might be here because you are searching for someone to help you with how you're feeling.

Bringing any of this to therapy can be scary. There is profound healing power in being courageous, listened to, validated, and encouraged.

Experiencing a bipolar or psychotic episode is often disorienting and frightening. Racing thoughts, intense emotions, and confusion over reality can leave you feeling lost and vulnerable. You’re not sure how to cope or go about your day. You may not even know where to go from here. The aftermath of an episode or inpatient treatment can be just as challenging as the onset of symptoms. It feels overwhelming grappling with uncertainty, shame, and trying to rebuild your sense of self and daily life. When all of this is combined with anxiety, depression, or addiction, it’s not uncommon to feel at a loss for how to get through the day.

Growing up, I just assumed everybody didn’t like themselves. I thought there were people that were open about not liking themselves, and then the rest of us pretending to like ourselves. It was the work I did in therapy that helped me learn there was this wild third option of “actually liking and appreciating myself”. Now I have the joy of sharing that with people as they learn they don’t have to feel so angry, worried, afraid, sad, or guilty all of the time.
