Great to meet you!

Welcome!

Life is not always easy. For some, perhaps it never has been. In times of struggle and transition having a compassionate, competent therapist can be immensely beneficial. Whether needing support, processing grief, working through trauma or any number of other life stressors I will be present to assist you in making lasting change. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years' experience. I would love to assist you in making positive changes in your life.

My approach to therapy

When your journey finds you at a crossroads and you're uncertain what to do, know that I am here to listen, offer comfort and guidance as you sort things through. You do not have to simply go it alone or "pull yourself up by your bootstraps."

What you can expect from me

I will provide an open and welcoming environment for you to voice concerns, process emotions and broaden perspectives.
