As a therapist, I enjoy working with individuals who are experiencing life transitions (young adulthood, changes in relationship status) and utilize an integrated approach valuing the unification of body, mind and spirit. I enjoy working from a foundation of connection, with a focus on the healing properties of the therapeutic relationship. I am trained in Brainspotting and also use relaxation / visualization exercises to assist my clients in experiencing grounding during our sessions. My goal is to partner with my clients to assist them in working toward creating a meaningful life.

As a therapist, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space for anyone who seeks insight, balance and growth at their current stage in life. I work with those who may feel stuck during a life transition, coping with a strained relationship, or battling inner thoughts while struggling with their self esteem.

I am a clinically licensed Master Social Worker who specializes in ART, anxiety, depression, grief, substance abuse, codependency and trauma work. I work with people around major life changes and losses to help them recover their sense of themselves and to be able to imagine a path forward with hope and resilience. In this busy world, it is often difficult to find others who have the time, the inclination or the skills to listen. It can be helpful to have someone with a calm, quiet presence outside of your normal life to talk to when things get overwhelming, and reassuring to know that you can find effective and compassionate help.
