Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting. I am so glad you have taken this step. I work to provide a safe place to help you feel heard, understood and safe. My goal is to create a relationship with you, where you can bring your whole self. The parts that feel strong, the parts you struggle with and the parts that might make you feel shame or judgement.

As a licensed clinical social worker I have over 20 years experience working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, post partum mood disorders, and medical trauma. I love working with individuals facing major life changes and chronic stress, and grief and loss.
