About Me

Finding a new therapist is hard. Finding that person with whom you can “click” is not an easy task but your effort to do so has the potential to be transformational for you.


I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been working with individuals and couples for almost ten years. I have helped people working though issues including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.


I believe that trust and honesty are the foundation to the helping relationship. I am also trainings in EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and strive to offer current evidence-based interventions to help my clients heal.


I most of all believe that having respect for my clients and their concerns is at the heart of creating trust. Having a place to feel heard, understood without judgement can be freeing in and of itself. So whether you have depression, childhood trauma or even combat related trauma I hope you will reach out for a consultation to see if we do “click”.
