If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck in a cycle of worry, sadness, or loneliness, you are not alone! These emotions can be natural responses to life circumstances. As a licensed clinical social worker, I am ready to join with you and offer support. Together we can identify your personal challenges, build upon your unique strengths, and develop healthier life patterns.
Therapy offers the opportunity to work toward becoming unstuck. I have over 15 years of clinical experience. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, chronic illness and LGBTQIA+ issues. My approach draws from relational, family systems, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapies.
I strive to provide a safe space where you can show up as your authentic self and feel heard, valued, and respected. I primarily meet via telehealth, with limited in-person availability. Send me a message to set up a call and see if we are a good fit!
