As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have focused the majority of my career on youth and young adults. I love working with young people as they navigate the challenges of personality development, family relationships, and exploring their place in the world beyond the family. My clinical judgment and practice strategies are guided by over twenty years of work with a wide variety of clients and circumstances. As a social worker in a lively high school and a parent of two young adults, I am very comfortable building rapport with the full gamut of adolescent personalities.
I am very excited to support clients in all developmental life stages as they work through clinical and non-clinical issues. These include depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, grief and loss, life and career transitions, relationships, parenting, family dynamics, and aging.
As a partner in your healing, I’m here to guide you through the vulnerable work of remembering, reflecting, releasing, and reclaiming. Using compassionate listening, loving honesty, and intentional processing of the challenges and changes affecting your mental health, my hope for you is to recognize that peace is possible. Central to this journey is acknowledging and understanding how your identities such as race, gender, and sexuality shape your experiences and worldview. In honoring that, creating a partnership where all parts of your identity are seen, safe, and valued is crucial to my practice. I believe it’s important to create a space grounded in grace that allows you to be kind and gentle with yourself. As we “walk” together and unpack the root causes of complex issues in your life, I will be with you as we identify new ways of being/doing, coping strategies, systems of support, and tangible self-care practices. If you’re ready to take the first step, I would be honored to walk with you on your journey of growth and healing.

I work with individuals navigating trauma, relationship challenges, life changes, impulsive behavior, anger, anxiety, and depression. Many come seeking relief, greater clarity, or a deeper connection with themselves. Whether you’re ready to heal or grow, I welcome adults of all identities and backgrounds. I also work with couples who want to strengthen their bond, communicate openly, and navigate conflict with care and understanding.
Welcome - I'm so glad you're here! I know finding a therapist can be daunting, but it is so worth it when you find someone you can trust. Whether you are navigating a new challenge life has thrown at you or are choosing to tackle a longstanding problem, I would be honored to be part of your team. Clients from all walks of life are welcome. I value clients' diversity and aim to treat each individual as holistically as possible. If you are looking to grow yourself and your relationships into the best that they can be, I would love to meet with you and accompany you on that journey.
As a seasoned clinician I help individuals face life’s challenges head-on—whether it’s anxiety, stress, depression, relationships, self-esteem, or major transitions. Unprocessed emotions don’t just go away; they show up in your mood, energy, work, and relationships. Avoiding them keeps you stuck. Therapy isn’t about quick fixes or sugarcoating—it’s about doing the real work. If you’re ready to stop circling the same patterns and start making real, lasting change, I’m here to help you get there.
I have been helping people finding solutions to complex problems for more than 20 years. I have a wealth of experience with individuals across the life span and the many challenges we face at various stages of life.
I’m a therapist with over ten years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, and the everyday stressors and transitions that can feel overwhelming.
I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities and integrate tools that best fit each person’s needs. Whether you’re dealing with persistent worry, low mood, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore, grow, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
