Acknowledging that you’re in a space where you need support, either for yourself, your family or your child is an incredible achievement. The pull to go inward during times of stress is strong but seeking outside help shows strength and resiliency. Our emotions often feel complex and can create a trickle down effect causing us to struggle in other areas including relationships, parenting, work, communication patterns and more. I have a passion for working with young adults launching into society, moms navigating the transition into motherhood, and parents/families experiencing behavioral challenges with their children.

Whatever the hurts, heartaches, quandaries, and strivings that bring you here now, you do not have to carry them alone. I can help you find relief, but relief is only the beginning. If you struggle with the reverberations of childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, unease in embodiment, or loss, I can help. I also welcome people working on issues of spirituality and sexuality, helping professionals wanting to deepen their own work, and those wanting to be more effective changemakers in the world. I also work with clinicians learning about psychoanalysis and/or about childism (oppression against children).

Ever have the feeling as if you are just going through the motions of your life, or waiting for the day to be over so you can go to sleep, just to wake up and do it all over again? Are you tired of the "hamster wheel" constantly spinning, wondering how on earth you are supposed to incorporate self-care along with everything else you are responsible for? As women, we have so many pressures and expectations placed on us that are often unrealistic. This leads to burn out and feels like we are living our lives for everyone else except ourselves.

Do you find that your life has become dominated by incessant worrying? Have your
obsessions taken over? Are you asking yourself, “Why can’t I stop? Why can’t I realize that my hands are clean when I know they must be?" Maybe you have managed to build the competency necessary to live a functioning life around your anxieties but you feel as though things are coming to a head? Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an often-misunderstood diagnosis despite the fact that it affects around one in every forty people. Moreover, when patients receive inappropriate treatment for OCD, they can experience an increase in negative symptoms.

Many individuals who appear to function well nonetheless experience considerable emotional pain. Some suffer in silence, burdened by shame over being unable to "get over it" or "stop feeling sorry for themselves." Others find themselves stuck in self-defeating patterns. Despite a longing for close relationships, they continually alienate others and end up in powerful loneliness. Both groups sense that life is slipping away from them.
With perseverance and a willingness to risk opening up, a person can shed these crippling patterns and find greater satisfaction in both relationships and in work.

Life is a journey and on our journey we will experience love, joy, and happiness. We will also encounter pain, loss, suffering and hardship. As a licensed clinical social worker I offer a safe space where you can safely talk about your experiences and feelings. I want to help you trust your own intuition as you talk about your life and make decisions about the direction of it. I am accepting, caring, and supportive. I believe in cultural humility which allows the individual to teach me about their self identity to include their ethnicity, spirituality, sexual identity, and other aspects of their cultural.

Relationships are not just about fixing communication or managing conflict. They are about awareness, presence, and how we meet one another in moments of closeness and rupture. You may feel stuck in familiar cycles such as pursue–withdraw dynamics, emotional distance, or a loss of safety and trust. You are likely longing not only for relief, but for transformation that includes personal awareness and responsibility, allowing for a more honest, resilient, and alive way of relating that supports repair, growth, and deeper connection over time.
