Great to meet you!

I began my career in the non-profit sector 20+ years ago as a case manager for harm reduction, HIV/AIDS prevention, and disability rights agencies.

After earning my MSW I spent 13 years at the VA where I specialized in care for veterans who were using substances, combat veterans adjusting to civilian life, and LGBTQIA+ veterans including those seeking gender affirming care.

I enjoy working with folks to explore areas they are seeking to change, accept, and all the stuff in between.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Finding balance and peace in the modern world is a lifelong pursuit. I can offer perspective, skills, and wisdom accumulated from years of experience. Together we can deepen your inner wisdom and skillfulness for navigating the experience of life.

I enjoy working with those in various areas of life transition including exploration of relationship with self, others, and habits; identity in context of self and society; academic and vocational transitions; and stage of life changes.

What you can expect from our first session

You will feel welcomed and accepted just as you are. You will feel seen and cared for. You will feel safe to talk, laugh, cry, heal, and grow.

We will explore your goals, your needs, your desires, and your strengths. We will build skills, wisdom, confidence, and self-esteem so you can embrace life with more hope and peace.
