Great to meet you!

I am a licensed independent social worker with over a decade of experience in helping folks on their path to recovery. Life has so many challenges and we can often find ourselves struggling to process everything we go through in daily life. I am passionate about providing a safe and warm therapeutic relationship to be able to process trauma, anxiety, relationships, grief and chronic illness. Let's work together to find what healing looks like for you.

My approach to therapy

I enjoy using a blend of modalities to best serve your needs and partner together to achieve your goals. I am certified in EMDR therapy and I specialize in trauma-focused and strengths-based treatment for a variety of concerns and life's many challenges. I believe in the uniqueness of every client and I want to work together to facilitate your path to healing.

What you can expect from me

I want to build a partnership that feels warm, welcoming and affirming. I have many years of experience working with diverse populations and provide care that is anti-oppression and LGBTQIA+ affirming. My number one goal is for you to feel safe and to feel like you can bring your most authentic self to therapy without any worry of feeling judged.
