Great to meet you!

I have been a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience. I work with young adults, older adults, and families who are grappling with the circumstances of life. I believe that it is critical to develop a relationship with you that is authentic and fosters a sense of trust as you begin to engage in the therapeutic process.

My approach to therapy

From the time of the intake, I will work with you to figure out how to navigate your way back to feeling more centered and to a place where you can become a better version of yourself (or any version that you envision!). I believe in using a collaborative, compassionate, and empathetic approach to meet my clients where they are.

What you can expect from me

I firmly believe that every person wants to do their best to cultivate a life that will make them feel fulfilled at any given point in time. I utilize a nonjudgmental approach when working with clients to assist them in identifying how their life experiences can help them achieve optimal success.
