Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and treated with dignity, no matter what they are going through. And while I bring professional training to the work I do, the clients are the experts of their lives. We are partners on a journey, and I am here to encourage or challenge them along the way, depending on their need. My own personal journey has been guided by a simple belief: we are here to help each other. That calling began 32 years ago in the classroom as a teacher, deepened when I experienced the benefits of therapy myself, and now continues in my work as an LCSW dedicated to helping others heal and grow.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, personalized, and eclectic, but if there is one skill I think I have perfected over the years, it is listening. To me, listening is more than just hearing what my clients are saying, it is about entering into their space and understanding who they are, without judgment. Here, I can help them make meaning of their lives and develop a practical plan of action to live better. In so doing, I draw from all aspects of my background and utilize techniques from CBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy.

Connection. Humans need connection to survive and ideally, to thrive. So if you are feeling disconnected, lost, or just confused about some things going on in your life, therapy may be right for you. I know it has been right for me at different stages in my life, and I hope I can be there for you in whatever you are going through.
