These challenging times can strain our abilities to cope. You may find you are more fatigued or more irritable; many are feeling the stress in important relationships. It has been an especially difficult time for children and teens, and their parents. All of this makes it a good time to get some consultation and support. I believe that healing starts with self compassion. I can help you to cultivate a compassionate curiosity that honors your strengths and explores the areas where you would like to change and grow.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience in Psychotherapy, Child and Family Therapy and Clinical Supervision. My work is deeply trauma-informed. I have specialized training in Attachment-Focused EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Child-Parent Psychotherapy.
I'm a good fit if you are looking for an experienced, seasoned therapist who has lived through, and helped people through, a wide range of life experiences. I have extensive experience in and commitment to supporting people who are parenting. I am a passionate LGBTQIA+ ally.
