My caseload is currently full, but please check back soon for an update on availability. I provide treatment to adults and adolescents for depression, anxiety, trauma, and other common disorders. My approach is trauma-informed, strength-based, and recovery-oriented.

My clinical background includes work with families and individuals across the lifespan experiencing a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges. Trauma, isolation, substance use, disrupted attachment, unresolved grief, and loss of meaning are common themes across the populations I've worked with.

I approach clinical work with care, connection, humor, and gentle curiosity. I want to understand your challenges, but also your strengths, values, and goals. Therapy can seem like an intimidating process, but it all starts with a friendly conversation. To learn more, feel free to explore this profile, visit the practice page, or find me on LinkedIn.
