Art can provide further insight into expression that words cannot do alone. I work with teens and adults in the office and/or via telehealth.
Hello. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting individuals and families navigating trauma, mental health challenges, and periods of crisis. Throughout my career, I have worked in roles focused on crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, and helping individuals manage complex emotional and behavioral concerns. I am committed to creating a supportive and compassionate environment where clients feel safe sharing their experiences and beginning the healing process.
I help adults break free from the weight of trauma and rebuild a sense of strength, clarity, and control. My background includes working in inpatient, partial hospitalization, and university settings, where I supported people facing trauma, crisis, and complex emotional struggles. I’ve run trauma processing groups for sexual assault survivors, provided therapy in a hospital program for teens and adults, and completed psychological evaluations for adults and older adults. These experiences shaped my calm, steady, trauma-informed approach and the way I show up for adults who are ready to heal.

Maybe what aches most is not the change itself, but the fear that someone you love is slipping out of reach — even if that someone is you. Everything feels different, yet somehow the same. One minute you are putting on pajamas, and the next you are spiraling because it is the first moment of quiet you have had all day. There is this gut feeling that your heart can no longer be bound with band-aids, but soul-searching is a lot before the alarm goes off tomorrow. You do not have to make sense of it all alone at midnight — that is what I am here for.

I’m an easy‐going, friendly therapist who believes therapy works best when you can be your real self—no pressure, no judgment.

I enjoy working with: Individuals experiencing depression, stress, anxiety, life transitions; Parents and families navigating communication issues or conflict; Preteens, Teens, and young adults, elderly; Individuals healing from difficult family dynamics or patterns; Caregivers.

I take a person-centered approach to therapy, meeting you exactly where you are and creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported—especially during vulnerable moments. I show up as my authentic self in sessions so that you can feel comfortable doing the same. My goal is that each time we meet, you leave feeling at least a little lighter—whether that comes from feeling heard, gaining insight, or simply having a space to release what you’ve been carrying.

I live by a this motto: When you love what you do and do what you love, you never work a day in your life! My 36+ years as a psychotherapist has never been experienced as 'work' because it is both my vocation (a job) AND my avocation (something about which I am passionate). I consider it a privilege to journey along side my clients, to encourage and provide insight into how and why life is unfolding as it is.
