In 2019, I walked the 500 miles of the Camino de Santiago. What I learned during that journey informs my clinical work. I think of life as a journey that is walked one step at a time. Along that road there will be challenges. Our job is to face them in ways that tap into our strengths and allow us to grow. Helping you find the path forward is my commitment to my clients. Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to witness profound growth in my clients, students and colleagues. Resilience humbles me. We are stronger than we realize.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 40 years experience in private practice and various non profit organizations. I've worked with children, adolescents, adults and families, in schools and community agencies as a therapist, social worker, clinical director, supervisor, executive director and university instructor.
