Great to meet you!

I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan (children through elder population). Over the course of my career, my experience has been diverse. I have worked in direct clinical practice, formal leadership, prevention education, forensic interviewing, and serve as an expert witness in domestic violence cases.

These experiences have strengthened my ability to remain flexible, responsive, and attuned in my therapeutic approach. Hurt people hurt people. However, even those who have caused harm are capable of change when they engage in intentional, meaningful action. Therapy offers a structured opportunity to create that change (nothing changes if nothing changes!).

I am committed to ongoing professional growth. Therefore, I will participate in trainings to deepen my clinical skills, expand my knowledge base, and ensure that my work remains effective, informed, and aligned with best practices.

I am available to meet with you either online or in person. Regardless of the format, you can expect a safe, non‐judgmental, and supportive space where you can explore what has been weighing on you and begin moving toward healing, clarity, and growth.

My approach to therapy

My background in social work has deepened my belief the dignity and worth in person as an individual. You have the choice on what to focus on what you feel you need in session (i.e. building coping skills, understanding patterns, better communication or relationship needs). Not sure where to start? That is not a problem! We can work together on finding strategies you can use in your day-to-day life. I offer daytime, late afternoon, and Saturday appointments to better fit your schedule.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and what you hope will feel different going forward. My goal is for you to quickly feel that you have a voice, that you feel comfortable, supported, and understood.
