Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and certified clinical supervisor with over 12 years of experience counseling adolescents, adults, couples, and families. For over 6 years, I have served as the lead therapist in an early intervention program for young adults and adolescents at risk for psychosis.

My approach to therapy

Over the past several years, I have focused on understanding the impact of childhood and past experiences. I’m certified in EMDR and am a student of Compassionate Inquiry, Gabor Maté's therapeutic model. Both approaches help uncover the root causes of difficulties and promote healing. I am also trained in mindfulness, stress reduction, and a variety of therapeutic methods to best support you or your child.

What you can expect from me

If you’re seeking therapy, please call me so we can discuss your needs and determine together whether it's a good fit. I believe therapy is a gift and an investment in yourself. To explore how we might work together, please call me for a free consultation.
