I recognize how hard change is and you deserve to thrive. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing independently since 2014 and have over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of who you are becoming, therapy can give a supportive place to make sense of what you’re experiencing and move forward more confidently. I work with adults navigating life transitions in education, career, relationships, family, health and environment, and identity exploration and reinvention and all that comes with learning to adapt. In our work together, you’ll be met warmly through curiosity and acceptance. I’ll help you identify and rewrite self-limiting patterns, build practical self-regulation skills, and develop healthier ways to adapt to change, so you can feel more grounded and empowered.

You have probably been carrying something for a while without saying it out loud: anxiety that will not switch off, grief that still ambushes you, drinking that stopped feeling like a choice, or trauma your body has not put down. Helping people find their way through that feels like my sacred calling. Ever since I was young, I've been the person who deeply listens, and I've always sensed the healing that happens when we finally have a trusted, compassionate witness to our story. The story you carry about your past can be the source of your suffering or the key to your freedom, and together we can gently begin to shift it. Whatever pain you're holding, you don't have to hold it alone. I work with individuals, and with couples and families who want to find their way back to each other.

Binge Eating Disorder & emotional eating is a cause close to my heart both professionally and personally. The adults I work with are cycle breakers but their relationship with food keeps them feeling burnt out when they want to feel self acceptance and open to new experiences.

I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.
