Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a 20 year background in higher education as a faculty member. I enjoy helping people make meaning out of difficult experiences (because, let's be honest - some things will never make sense!) and move toward greater stability in relationships and inner confidence. I have worked with teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, and burnout. Clients often appreciate my honest, thoughtful style and the balance of reflection and practical support I provide.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative and grounded in real life. I help clients notice patterns, understand emotional responses, and develop skills that improve communication, boundaries, and decision-making. My work blends relational insight with practical strategies that support long-term growth.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance to slow down and talk through what has been weighing on you. Together we will begin identifying priorities, goals, and small steps that can help you feel more steady. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, respected, believed, and hopeful about what is possible.
