My focus is truly about helping people. We all experience challenges in our lives and feel out of balance from time to time. I believe my role is to help people identify challenges and discover methods to address those challenges-returning balance in their lives. I have treated adolescents, adults and the geriatric population- both in the hospital setting and in general practice. Recently, I completed a certificate course in Sports Social Work. This has expanded my practice to include a special focus for athletes, not only to enhance performance but to address specific needs of athletes.

The impact of society as well as the cultural expectation to discover on our sense of self can be disheartening. This process may lead to feeling fear, anxiety, doubt, or shame, which can leave you feeling stuck and unfulfilled. You deserve support that honors all aspects of your lived experience. I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming, body positive, trauma informed, socially conscious, and anti-racist/anti-oppressive oriented therapist. My areas of focus are individual work, especially with women 18-40 as they grow into their power as women. I also work with families and couples wanting to increase communication and reduce negativity.

My ideal client is an individual who is open to working as a team and benefiting from a therapeutic relationship in which honesty, accountability, and empathy are paramount. While a client’s concerns are unique and personal, there is nothing they cannot overcome through effective therapeutic interventions and a highly-trained and relatable clinician.

I understand the exhaustion and hopelessness. The gut-punching anxiety that hits out of the blue. I know what it is like to feel lost and trapped at the same time. I decided to become a therapist after a successful academic career as a philosophy professor. I made the career change after facing and overcoming my own mental health challenges with the help of a therapist. The experience was so liberating that I wanted to share it with others.

I believe in therapy. It can play a vital role in coming to terms with the past, living life in the present, and anticipating the future… We cannot erase a difficult history. But we can change our relationship to our pain, and we can identify the things within our control. I believe that self-understanding is key for making healthy changes... The importance of working to understanding ourselves cannot be stressed enough.

Therapy can be a comfortable place to unpack life’s “uncomfortable” moments. I believe therapy is collaborative and that a relaxed, honest and, at times humorous, communication style is important to creating an authentic environment. Personal growth best happens in a compassionate and supportive atmosphere. I am a licensed independent social worker who specializes in treating children, adults and families who seek a greater understanding of how their behaviors and emotions are connected to their life experiences. I can help you discover how your own natural strengths can be used to foster resilience and independence.
