I believe healing begins in relationships where people feel safe, seen, and genuinely understood. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment, and feel supported as you navigate life's challenges.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a compassionate, collaborative, and authentic approach to therapy. I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they move toward healing, growth, and greater self-understanding.

I believe every person's story is unique. Rather than assuming what you need, I take the time to understand your experiences, values, strengths, and goals. Together, we'll create a path forward that feels meaningful, empowering, and aligned with the life you want to build.

Whether you're facing a difficult season, feeling overwhelmed, or simply looking for a place to process and grow, my hope is that you'll find a space where you feel heard, respected, and never alone in what you're carrying.

Welcome! I am currently accepting client and I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ adolescents and young adults, providing affirming care through a solution‐focused and client‐centered approach.

I have lived in the Truckee Tahoe area off an on for over 30 years, I have an AA Degree in Early Child Development, a BA Degree from the University of California Santa Cruz, and I attended the University of. Nevada, Reno for my Masters in Social Work.

My husband and I have two grown children who live in Northern CA and Nevada. We are avid skiers, mountain bikers, and my hobbies include cooking, art, writing, and learning, and of course, playing with our mini golden doodle, Joaquin.

My roots are in Scranton, Pennsylvania; growing up, life was challenging and unpredictable for me and my sisters. I was the first member of our extended family who was able to put themselves through both undergraduate (BA - Latin American Studies/UCSC, and graduate school (MSW- Masters in Social Work, (UNR) and graduate with honors.

All three of my younger sisters followed in my footsteps to pursue higher education and to find success as Professionals.

My husband and I moved to the Tahoe/Truckee area together in the early 1990s, pursuing seasonal employment. We somehow made ends meet, things got a little easier each year, and he later pursued a career in resort and business management, while I pursued continuing education, mental health and licensure, and opening up my practice.

Our son and a daughter both grew up enjoyed attending local public schools in Truckee, and later the Univeristy of California; they are both living fulfilling adult lives in the nearby region.
