I've been in practice for thirty years, working with clients of all ages. I have Master's Degrees in Counseling and Religious Studies, with concentrations in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, EMDR and Expressive Therapies.

Searching for a therapist is the first step toward a more resilient version of yourself.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience offering individual and family therapy. I have worked with youth ages 3-19 and their families, with a particular passion for supporting foster and adoptive families, LGBTQIA+ youth, and young people with special education needs. As an individual therapist, I have supported adolescents and adults living with the impacts of trauma, substance dependence, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia.

It can be incredibly difficult to untie the emotional knots that complicate relationships, self-confidence, and understanding the past. Therapy is a safe opportunity to uncover these core issues and learn practical techniques that foster deeper insight. I believe that with this insight you can make meaningful, lasting changes.
