I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I believe healing happens through genuine connection, curiosity, and compassion.

Hello! I'm glad you're here. I believe in the healing power of therapy and would be honored to be a part of your journey.

I believe that you are the expert in your own life. Oftentimes people seek therapy as a way to cope with difficult environments, navigating a complex and rapidly changing world without the support they need to overcome obstacles. I have worked with disenfranchised folks most of my life - many impacted by systems involvement, lack of access to services, homelessness, and intimate partner violence. Past clients have shared they genuinely appreciate having a helping professional who meets them where they are at in life, supports them in achieving realistic goals, and keeps dignity, respect and honesty at the forefront of the work.
