Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) with more than 20 years of professional experience. Some areas of specialty include work with people from the LGBTQ+ community, self-esteem issues, depression/anxiety management, addiction/substance use issues, trauma recovery, gender affirming care/medical procedure evaluations, sex/sexuality related concerns, and couples counseling. I also often work with other healthcare professionals about career stressors.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I offer both individual and couple's counseling services, guiding the process in a way that is affirming, strengths based, and at your own pace. I believe each person I work with deserves an individualized person-centered approach that honors who they are and what they have experienced. I am committed to working with harm reduction and trauma informed approaches to counseling.

What you can expect from our first session

Each person who works with me collaboratively develops their own unique goals for therapy that support the health & wellness outcomes they desire for themselves and/or their relationship.
