Great to meet you!

With more than 40 years of clinical experience and a Master of Social Work, I help adults and older adults navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful personal goals. I strive to create a supportive, thoughtful space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

My approach to therapy

I use a personalized approach to therapy based on the specific challenges and problem areas each person is experiencing. Because every client is different, I tailor treatment to meet their individual needs, drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches to support growth, healing, and meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, clients can expect to feel welcomed, heard, and supported. We will begin exploring the concerns that brought them to therapy, discuss their goals, and start working together to develop a treatment plan and approach that feels thoughtful, practical, and personalized to their needs.
