Feeling anxious? Frightened? Depressed? Triggered? Traumatized? Fill-in-the-blanks? Welcome to being a human being. I’m one too. And I can help you.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience as a therapist and
clinician. I bring a grounded, compassionate approach to therapy that’s shaped by decades of working with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan and across diverse life experiences. My own journey—both personal and professional—deeply informs my work, and I strive to create a space where people can explore, heal, and grow.
I’m not a one-size-fits-all therapist. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to tailor
treatment to your needs, goals, and pace. I believe in therapy that is both supportive and flexible. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, or major life transitions, I’ll meet you where you are—literally and emotionally.
I believe we are all shaped by our experiences—especially the traumas—that brought us to
where we are today. Therapy is a space to honor those stories, to reflect, to heal, and to begin writing new chapters. It’s a dynamic and collaborative process of self-exploration and change.
