There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.” — John Green I have worked in the field of social work for over ten years, driven by a passion that began while supporting adolescents in a clinical day school setting. That early experience solidified my commitment to furthering my education and pursuing a career in social work. Throughout my career, I have gained experience across a variety of settings, including schools, medical facilities, child welfare, outpatient care, and crisis services. This diverse background has allowed me to develop a flexible, client-centered approach tailored to individuals’ unique needs.

Life doesn't come with a roadmap and it's normal to feel overwhelmed at times. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use, cultural or identity concerns, grief/loss, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and approachable space where you can explore your experiences and take meaningful steps towards change.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals across outpatient and emergency settings I bring a grounded and compassionate perspective to therapy. This background allows me to meet clients where they are whether they're seeking immediate relief or working toward deeper personal growth.

Four decades. That's how long I've been doing this work — and I mean that not as a resume line, but as a promise. Over forty years of sitting with people through the things that crack a life open: the identity shifts that come with midlife, the isolation that quietly builds, the grief of a body that's changed, the exhaustion of caregiving for someone else while your own needs go unmet. I bring deep expertise in depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the complex emotional terrain that emerges as life evolves through its stages. I specialize in working with adults — particularly women, caregivers, and individuals facing chronic health challenges or major life transformations — who are navigating chapters of life that often go unacknowledged and underserved. If you've ever felt like the world was moving too fast while you were standing still, wondering who you are now and what comes next — this is the practice that was built for you.

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning adults who appear to be managing life well from the outside but are privately struggling with anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, ADHD, or major life transitions. I have a particular interest in men's mental health and helping professionals navigate the pressures that come with demanding careers, relationships, and family responsibilities. I work with adults, and can support parenting and divorce-related work, as well.
