    I believe that we all do our best to cope with life's ups and downs. But some periods can be tougher than others. Maybe it's hard to connect with people, and your relationships no longer feel fulfilling. Or well-honed coping skills have stopped being effective. Life might have thrown you an unexpected curve ball and you are trying to adjust. As challenging as these times can be, they present opportunities for growth and change. Whatever you are facing in this moment, you deserve to start feeling better.


    “Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.”
    – Brene Brown

    I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker experienced in working with individuals and couples, and trained in evidence-based therapeutic models. My clients face a range of circumstances, including depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, trauma, grief, chronic illness, and relationship struggles. In my office - virtual or in-person - you will find a non-judgmental, compassionate, and collaborative environment with high professional standards. I tailor therapy to achieve the goals you establish, incorporating your personal strengths and using cutting-edge, scientifically-proven therapeutic models. You don't need to know your diagnosis or treatment goals to get started, as that is part of our initial work together. All you need to know is what's concerning you in this moment.
