Hello! Please consider visiting my website, there's a button for it in my profile here. My goal is to help others find relief from the cycle of difficult thoughts and emotions that arise from a variety of life circumstances, whether adjusting to new events or dealing with a life-long struggle. Learning new skills, perspectives and being heard can be transformative. Your life-story, your beliefs and your strengths are of paramount importance. I strongly believe in acceptance, compassion and hope, offering these at all stages of our work together. I aim to respond to every call by the end of the day.
I have had my clinical license for 10 years, working with adults of all ages and helping them to cope with a multitude of different struggles. I also have twenty five years of experience as a social worker helping people solve various problems which has kept me aware of local resources.
I believe pain can be a catalyst that moves us toward deeper connection - whether within ourselves, with others, or both. Deciding on the right therapist can be a difficult process, I'm happy to provide a free consultation so that you can get a sense of how well we might work together. I'm looking forward to speaking with you!

My experience treating depression, anxiety, and teaching coping skills is foundational. The same experience routinely apply to treating adult ADHD, trauma, life transitions and many other issues. Over 25 years in social work and 10 years as an LCSW, I have worked with all of these in many settings. Our work can be structured and methodical, creative and intuitive, or a mix of both.

ACT helps you stop fighting difficult thoughts so you can act on what matters. CBT offers concrete tools to interrupt unhelpful patterns. Somatic work addresses what the body holds when talk alone isn't enough. Narrative work examines the stories you live inside. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns rooted in earlier relationships. I use whichever fits and we can determine this together.
