Great to meet you!

I am a social worker and clinical therapist. I have experience working with addiction, and with trauma, depression and anxiety, as well as relationship issues and family conflict.

My approach to therapy

My clients have enjoyed my casual and relaxed approach to treatment -they recognize that this is a person who can be direct and challenging, but also understanding, calm, and often fun.

What you can expect from me

During our first session we will explore any issues you feel you're having as we come to understand each other and what to expect from our work. We will look at your goals and the subtleties and nuances of YOU to help us reach them.
