I have been a clinical social worker/therapist for almost 30 years. My overall philosophy is to empower a client with tools to make personal changes that will ultimately make seeing me for therapy unnecessary. I specialize in clients who are going through personal transitions such as divorce, grief or other uncertainties that cause anxiety and I have a lot of experiencing working with clients who experience gender/relationship violence or trauma.

I consider it a profound honor to witness human beings' capacity to become more authentic, liberated versions of themselves. My experience is that healing and transformation take place only in relationship, and that the therapist-client relationship provides a unique opportunity for connection, reflection, and change. I help individuals and couples co-create a space where they can process the heavy burdens that seem to be getting in the way- grief or loss, low self-esteem, ambivalence about what is next, or pain from broken relationships.

We live in a world that makes us sick and then capitalizes on our pain. The pain gets passed down through intergenerational trauma, parenting, and the culture at large. The impact erodes our physical and emotional health as well as our ability to nurture strong relationship with our own true selves and others. This unprocessed pain can manifest in your life in a myriad of ways including chronic depression, anxiety, low self-worth, codependency, overworking, addictive behaviors, and relational conflict.

I find sitting and partnering with clients in their most vulnerable places to be a great honor, and I have found that doing so has often helped them to some of their greatest areas of growth, to an awareness of their own strengths, and to their deepest experiences of joy. This is especially true as they are met by someone on their journey who demonstrates genuine compassion, curiosity, and kindness.
