These hardships can be processed and healed through a therapeutic alliance with a skilled counselor. With focus on providing tools for affect regulation and narrative processing, clients will learn the skills necessary to move through their emotions in a safe environment and apply them in their natural environment.

I specialize in helping couples improve communication, heal from infidelity, and deepen emotional and physical intimacy. Whether you're navigating a rough patch or seeking to strengthen your connection, I offer a supportive space to explore relationship dynamics and rebuild trust.
I also work with individuals facing relationship challenges, anxiety, and life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to prioritize their own needs. Together, we work to clarify values, improve emotional awareness, and create meaningful change.

Feeling stuck, isolated, or even that no one else can understand? Maybe you're struggling with your identity in various roles? These can all be normal struggles that most of us experience but don't always know how to solve or feel better about. When we experience these situations, we can see symptoms of depression, anxiety, increased conflict or anger, decreased mood, or other various disruptions across your life.

We all go through stressful periods in our lives. Sometimes it's a result of a traumatic event, such as a sexual assault, loss of a loved one, or difficult life transition. Sometimes it's more complicated to pinpoint. Maybe we are having trouble coping with school, work, or everyday life and are not sure why. Maybe we feel stuck and just feel "off" or not ourselves. I believe that everyone is capable of changing their life and moving toward happiness. Whether you are new to therapy or have gone in the past, I'll work with you with non-judgment and compassion to help to you on your journey of personal growth.

One of my working assumptions is that you truly matter (just as you are), and I hope you feel appropriately supported in working toward and realizing your goals (who you're becoming).
My approach is collaborative, authentic, and eclectic; incorporates a holistic view; is tailored to your strengths and current needs; includes asking tough questions, humor, and direct communication; and invites (optional) "therapy homework" between sessions.
This style is not for everyone, yet I hear time and again that those open to working together experience amazing transformation and deep healing.

Using ERP, ACT, and I-CBT, I help clients reduce compulsions, face fears, tolerate uncertainty, and build confidence. My school social work experience helps me understand attendance concerns, academic pressure, test anxiety, perfectionism, and school avoidance.

Areas of current emphasis include women’s issues, trauma, pregnancy/postpartum/parenthood, teens and college students, anxiety, and adult ADHD.
Do you find yourself overwhelmed and stuck with all the demands and stress in life? My belief in therapy is based on the principle that we as humans are always changing and growing. Throughout life, we all face obstacles or challenges that we must work through in order to reach our optimal self. We learn new things and face new challenges daily. My goal is to process all experiences in order to and identify how they impact the present and better the future. I used trauma-informed cognitive and relational approaches to shape positive thinking and increase awareness.

My initial MSW specialization was direct practice work with children, youth and families.
As a licensed clinical social worker with more than 40 years experience of working with families and individuals of all ages, I find that the most effective approach is one that is strengths-based with a strong emphasis on helping clients solve the problems that bring them to me for therapy and also on helping them develop powerful resiliency characteristics that allow for future problem-solving, conflict resolution, goal-attainment, wellness, and life satisfaction. My ideal client is one who likes to learn. Trauma survivors, in particular, do well with this approach.
