About me
Hello and welcome! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience working with adults in a variety of settings. My passion is helping others to navigate challenges and live life to the fullest. Whether you are struggling with a life transition, substance use, pregnancy and postpartum, grief and loss, anxiety or depression; I am here to support you harnessing your strengths and processing your experiences.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session, we will discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. We will collaborate setting expectations and goals for our work together and begin to establish a therapeutic relationship.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I provide a delicate balance of holding space, honoring your experiences, and challenging you to break patterns keeping you stuck.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with adults over the age of 18 who may be struggling with life transitions, pregnancy and postpartum, infertility, trauma, substance use, relationship conflict, anxiety, or depression, as well as a variety of other challenges. Whether you are ready to jump into change and healing or just testing the waters, I am happy to guide your self-exploration and witness transformation.

EMDR is a powerful tool for reducing emotional distress and healing from traumatic experiences.
