Maybe you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something just isn't working anymore. Stress and worry have become your baseline, a relationship feels strained, or you're carrying something heavy from your past. You might be facing a major life change - or you're tired of a pattern you can't seem to break.
You don't have to keep pushing through it alone.
I'm a licensed social worker working with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance misuse, and life transitions. I focus on helping you feel heard and understood, and then we work together on what comes next - at a pace that works for you.
With over 30 years of experience in community health and private practice I create a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard and respected. I draw from multiple evidence-based approaches and tailor therapy to your unique needs. Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all - I meet you where you are, working with your strengths, values, and experiences.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, and reaching out to someone new takes courage. Whether you're not sure where to start or you've been thinking about this for a while, there's no pressure here. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can connect, talk through what's bringing you in, and see if we're a good fit.
