I’m a licensed clinical social worker who works with children, adolescents, families, and individual adults to help them live more fulfilling, balanced lives. Through open, collaborative conversations, we’ll explore the assumptions, patterns, and habits that may be holding you back—and work together to create new possibilities. You are the expert on your own life, and I bring expertise in helping people move through emotional challenges, unhelpful behaviors, and relationship roadblocks so lasting change can take root.
While I enjoy working with people of all ages, I have a special passion for supporting families in times of transition and have extensive experience helping families navigate divorce. Whether I’m working with parents, children, or the whole family, my goal is to foster understanding, resilience and healthier ways of relating.
From depression and anxiety to job stress, unsatisfying relationships, or substance use, there is always a path toward thinking, feeling, and living differently. In therapy with me, you’ll find a safe and supportive space to create change, restore balance, embrace health—and ultimately, enjoy life more fully.
