Thanks for visiting my site. I am a licensed clinical social worker who is in practice to meet people where they are, and support them as they traverse the work that brings them to session. My theoretical framework is family systems theory which means that I seek to understand how you see and feel the world from the experiences in the systems from which you came and are currently in. I listen carefully to support and respect your individuality and personhood. I am comfortable working with clients who have complex behavioral health and medical needs.

We will work together to help you manage feelings stirred up by isolation, loneliness, anger, unfair self-criticism, and poor self-esteem. I use knowledge of human development and the mind to teach you to manage anxiety, anger, and depression. It is not unusual for my clients to discover creativity from childhood that had become dormant in adult life through our work together, and I can help clients progress quickly with fewer sessions. Why pay psychiatrist fees when you can see a certified psychoanalyst for less and progress better and more quickly?

Sometimes life feels too big, too complex, and too messy to get your head around. If you're ready to make changes in your life, but aren't sure where to start, I can help you develop a plan to make it happen. I can support you in your desire to stop destructive behaviors and create new, healthier ways of living. We go at a pace that is comfortable for you, taking on problems one-at-a-time. Together we tackle the things that are keeping you from the kind of life you want to live.
