Drawing on 21 years of experience as a first responder, I come from a place of understanding that life can be unpredictable and challenging to navigate on your own sometimes.

My unique experience working in crisis situations and a genuine awareness of the challenges and unfamiliar emotions that come with experiencing trauma and various life circumstances guide my open and empathetic approach.

It can be easy to view mental health as a kind of fixed state of “wellness” we should strive for. Through my work with others and experiences in my own life, I have learned that it is more productive to think of mental health like a verb: a changing, evolving process that requires new insights and approaches over time. Whether life is knocking us down, we are knocking ourselves down, or a bit of both, therapy is a great way to find the tools to manage life’s challenges more effectively. Learning new skills is critical, and so too is building a more compassionate relationship ourselves.

Welcome! I am a Clinical Social Worker offering individual therapy to adults seeking support in healing their relationship to Self, attachment wounds, and relational traumas. You might be in an anxious-avoidant dance, noticing painful relationship patterns, feeling stuck in a loop of relational ambivalence, or want to resolve what's blocking deeper connections. You might be navigating difficult family relationships and questioning estrangement and boundaries. Perhaps you are noticing a harsh inner-critic, self-doubt, the urge to people please, or a disconnection from Self (the person you are and want to be; at your core).
