Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist with a passion for supporting people and families through difficult transitions in their lives. Working through life transitions can come in a variety of different forms whether it be adjusting to a new job, becoming a first-time parent, being diagnosed with a serious illness, as well as a range of other things. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients gain a better understanding of your feelings, moods and behaviors throughout these transitions, and in turn, help you to better manage and cope.


I have special expertise in cancer settings, chronic illness, parenting, caregiving, and burnout. Because I have worked with individuals at all life stages, I have been able to develop a practice tailored to each individual. I combine many therapeutic modalities, to ensure the right fit for each person, injecting humor and levity along the way.

My approach to therapy

My approach is client centered, relational, and collaborative. I encourage you to explore your strengths, and take charge in the care you are seeking. I welcome all who bring in past therapy experiences, and those who are new to therapy. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities to best support you and your present needs. I typically work with folks who have formal and informal diagnoses of PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders.

What you can expect from me

My clients can expect someone who meets with them a direct approach, rooted in kindness. Together, we'll collaborate on care, identify strengths and develop realistic coping tools. You are the expert in your experiences, and I’m here to guide and support you in a way that aligns with your needs and values.
