Great to meet you!

I believe that we all have the ability to grow, learn, and find our center during difficult or life-changing times. I am here to partner with you to identify what is causing discomfort and to provide the tools to navigate through those challenges. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have a Doctor of Philosophy in Social Welfare. I have worked in a variety of human service settings for many years, from clinical work to teaching and program evaluation, but I have found that my favorite environment is to work one-on-one with individuals and couples.

My approach to therapy

I focus on anxiety, depression, and finding meaning and hope through life transitions. I utilize techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, and can incorporate mind-body techniques such as mindfulness and relaxation.

What you can expect from me

I have a relaxed and engaging approach, and my goal is to support you in seeing and maximizing your full potential.
