Great to meet you!

Have you been a go-getter all your life, only to find that you feel resentful and burnt out? Imagine what it would be like to rediscover a sense of ease and balance in your life. What would you give to feel excited about your career, family, friends, or hobbies again? I enjoy blending mind & body healing modalities to help clients achieve wellness at all levels. My holistic style can help you build resilience to better manage life's many stresses.

A bit about my approach to therapy

As a clinical social worker, I am an activist at heart and I seek to help you understand your current challenges within the context of our broader culture. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ folks, as I am a member of the community myself. I know intimately what it's like to question or assess one's safety in the simple act of expressing love. I make it a point to create a therapeutic space that can fully accommodate all of who you are. No topic is taboo or off limits!

What you can expect from our first session

My clients say I am both fun to work with and provide a safe, grounded space for self-discovery. My approach is casual, compassionate, and deeply attuned to my clients’ goals. I have over 20 years of clinical experience, which usually means that nothing a client says will surprise me! I've seen, heard, and experienced quite a lot, which gives me a strong capacity to hold space for people in life's most challenging moments (as well as guide you to calmer waters).
