If you're carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, or a past you haven't been able to fully
process, you don't have to figure it out alone. With more than five years as a Licensed Clinical
Social Worker, I work with adults and seniors who are ready to make sense of what they've been
through and start moving toward the life they want to build.
I have a particular passion for working with people navigating mood disorders like bipolar disorder,
trauma and PTSD, and the kind of emotional challenges men often face but rarely talk about. I also
work with couples who want to strengthen their connection before things fall apart.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and concerns related to alcohol use. I especially enjoy working with clients who may appear capable and successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves.
My style is warm, conversational, nonjudgmental, and straightforward. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself rather than feeling like you have to say the “right” thing in session. My goal is to understand both what you are struggling with and who you are as a person so that therapy feels relevant to your life.
