Great to meet you!

These challenging times can strain our abilities to cope. You may find you are more fatigued or more irritable; many are feeling the stress in important relationships. It has been an especially difficult time for children and teens, and their parents. It's a good time to get some support. I believe that healing starts with self compassion. I can help you to cultivate a compassionate curiosity that honors your strengths and explores the areas where you would like to change and grow.

My approach to therapy

I'm pleased to announce that I am now offering EMDR! I also have specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Child-Parent Psychotherapy. My work is deeply trauma-informed. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience providing Psychotherapy, Child and Family Therapy and Clinical Supervision.

What you can expect from me

I'm a good fit if you are looking for an experienced, seasoned therapist who has lived through, and helped people through, a wide range of life experiences. I have extensive experience in and commitment to supporting people who are parenting. I am a passionate LGBTQIA+ ally.
