I am a clinical social worker working with adults. I view therapy as a collaborative process where together we can create new possibilities for the way you see yourself and the way you live. I’m interested in exploring how larger cultural and social systems have dominated the stories we tell about ourselves and how we can challenge those together so that you feel more empowered in your life. As a new mother confronted with many of those dominant stories, I'm particularly interested in supporting expectant parents and those recently postpartum. I'm open to working on a short-term or long-term basis, whatever works best for you.

Having experienced the loss of a loved one can feel isolating.
Many of my clients describe losing a loved one was like being hit by a Mac truck. There is something unbelievable about how a loved one is no longer with us ;it is akin to a sudden shock. The need to tell one's story and organize the narrative is essential to the process of healing. Repeating the story in front of witnesses either in a group setting or individually helps integrate this new reality into one's frame of reference. The purpose of the sessions individual or group in to help to make you feel less alone in your personal tragedy. Repeatedly group members report a sense of healing being connected to others.

From time immemorial, philosophers have thought about anxiety, grief, and depression, as a way to living a better life.
All humans seek happiness and answers to the most personal and vexing questions of self-knowledge, happiness, love, the right way to live, and satisfying, meaningful relationships and work. At the heart of these quests lie enduring philosophical questions. As an APPA-certified Philosophical Counselor, I can help you find means of raising and answering these questions, through conversations and engaged dialogue. Philosophical reflection and study are tools I can share in this process, one I've been engaged in ever since I began the formal study of philosophy, and continued in my teaching, writing, and reflection.

When experiencing intense harm, grief, or loneliness, it can be hard to be vulnerable with the ones we’re closest to, let alone a stranger.
In a society where we are expected to be constantly moving, moving, moving, it is hard to find the time or wherewithal to slow down. Often, we have spent so much time in survival mode, we don’t even realize we haven’t stopped to breathe or ask where joy fits in the equation that is the constant hustle. Alternatively, we feel so fractured from our wounds, whatever they might look like, that just getting out of bed in the morning can feel like a losing battle.
