Great to meet you!

With nearly two decades devoted to this profession I have found that each healing journey is completely unique and individual. There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to healing trauma and knowing our soul. Collaborate with me to illuminate your authentic path and to integrate and heal your trauma. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an extremely diverse background but some areas of focus include trauma/PTSD and substance abuse/recovery.

My approach to therapy

My approach is organic, creative, nurturing and honors your individuality. While I am well trained in very concrete and practical therapeutic skills, I complement them with a holistic lens and creative approaches. Together, we will unearth self-knowledge by uncovering sources of inspiration and identifying what touches your heart. This will be our map guiding your sacred path of healing.

What you can expect from me

Past clients share they feel "held" and "safe" in their work with me and frequently note improvement in mood after a session. Expect to feel affirmed, validated and empowered while also simultaneously gaining practical education related to a specific situation or mental health concern.
