Let me help you tell your story. Nietzsche famously said, "To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering." I believe that we spend our lives looking for answers and meaning in life, and my passion is helping others untangle their darkest fears, their deepest worries, and emerge feeling both freer and more in control of their lives. I will walk beside you in the darkness--not leading, but guiding with a gentle hand as you move toward a brighter future.

Are leftover traumas from your past holding you back from living fully? Do you wish you could stop trying to numb out from your negative thoughts, depression, anxiety or addiction? Through therapy, you can learn how to embrace your vulnerabilities and step into the life you want to be living. I am a compassionate and supportive clinical social worker who connects with you to create a safe space to talk about what’s happened to you. Together we’ll begin to understand the impact of trauma and shame while practicing techniques you can use to live a healthier and happier life.

When you're struggling with life's many challenges, you may find comfort in talking things through with someone who is supportive, perceptive and outside your inner circle. I see therapy as an opportunity to explore your personal dilemmas in a safe and confidential setting. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each person with whom I work. The resulting relationship is one of warmth, openness and trust. My goal is to guide you to build your own tools for healing and coping. Our work will enable you to enhance your relationships and improve your life satisfaction.

Each person has a particular reason for seeking therapy, and all are valid. Maybe you’ve dealt with traumas big or small, as a child or an adult, and the varied emotional and behavioral consequences they can bring. Or you need support exploring/expressing your gender identity or sexual orientation. Or you and your partner/s could use counseling to strengthen your relationship/s. Or so many other concerns that inhibit you from attaining your dreams. Whatever the reason, I will meet you exactly where you are the moment you walk in my virtual door. I consider myself your partner in your journey to find and be your most authentic self.

I use a client centered approach where I help the client focus on the skills and resources they have in order to help solve the problems they have in their life. I offer a warm, non-judgmental approach to therapy and am happy to help my clients learn and grow through their experiences. I am trained in EMDR and use this technique to help clients with a trauma work through and heal from their past. I also do marriage and couples counseling with all types of couples including those in non-monogamous relationships.

You are here because you are feeling unhappy, angry, worried, anxious, panicked, or full of self-doubt. Or you are a couple in need of direction and guidance to work through conflicts. I have found that fear is often the unrealized dynamic that gets in the way of fulfillment and happiness in many areas of life. Are you experiencing a recent transition, stressor or crisis that has brought about pain or confusion, or maybe you are struggling with a longstanding challenge? Therapy is a means to uncovering existing strengths, and to gaining insights and new skills to help overcome the fears that often accompany these challenges.
