I spent two years in England working in child protection before returning home. Though I consider my background in working with children and families, I currently enjoy helping clients of all ages facilitate the change that they desire to better their own lives. In 2016, I received my LCSW and began working in clinical practice.

Sometimes the weight you have been carrying has been there so long it just starts to feel normal. Whether you are working through anxiety, grief, depression, or the lasting effects of trauma, or you are a parent watching your child or teenager struggle and searching for someone who can really help, you deserve a therapist who takes the relationship seriously. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and after more than 20 years in this field, I still believe that nothing meaningful happens without trust. Clients often describe me as a genuine thought partner, someone who listens carefully and meets them where they are.
