Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over two decades of experience in trauma informed care. I specialize in complex trauma related to interpersonal violence, systemic oppression, and grief and loss.

My approach to therapy

My clinical style is client centered, and I utilize clinical practices that are informed by theory, but expansive to the client's unique lived experience.

What you can expect from me
