Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working individuals, family and groups. I enjoy working alongside clients as they address stress, anxiety, motivation, relationships, depression and life changes. My practice is gender and identity affirming based in sex positivity and dignity for all.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I strive to treat everyone with respect and dignity. As they share some of the most painful parts of their lives. They will be shown compassion and respect for their lived experience.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to leave feeling seen, heard and accepted for who they are and encouraged to take on the challenge of tackling the issues of importance to them.
