Great to meet you!

As a Clinical Social Worker and certified Couples/Family Therapist for 26 years, I offer warmth, rapport with adults and young people, and keen clinical insight. I am eager to lend my experience and expertise to get to work on behalf of your family.

My approach to therapy

I take a trauma-informed and relational approach to understand what stands in the way of your goals, and how we can collaboratively leverage strengths, face challenges and chart a course toward change.

What you can expect from me

The theologian Soren Kierkegaard wrote, “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” An effective therapist provides tools and resources that address those challenges and engender hope, helping a family ‘live forward’ in the present moment while collaborating with them to understand what has stood in the way of healing for the long haul.
