I focus on adults of different ages and diverse backgrounds drawing on CBT, ACT, and DBT skills to help change situational perspectives.
I am a firm believer that our present self is shaped by the traumas and negative experiences we’ve survived. In therapy, we open wounds that have been bandaged up over time. Opening up these wounds causes us to feel vulnerable, which is why it is important to me that my clients have a safe place to work through these difficult times.

I work with kids, teens, young adults, professional adults, & couples.
Life’s transitions can get the best of us sometimes. It is not easy to see the rainbow behind the clouds when you are amid the storm. Difficult times of adjusting to these transitions are also the opportunity to grow. I believe having a supportive & non-judgmental environment helps us heal. If you are struggling with a relationship question, want more out of your relationship, trying to figure out parenting during changing relationship dynamics, or if you or your child are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma, etc., then I would feel privileged to create a safe space to start your healing journey.

In addition to therapy sessions for adults, parents and family units, I also conduct community support groups and educational groups for clients who find value in being part of a setting where thoughts, emotions and different ideas can be safely shared.
Hello. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and School Social Worker and have worked in community mental health clinics and school settings. I earned a PhD in transformative learning from the California Institute of Integral Studies and a Master of Social work from the University of New England. The focus of my work is in two areas. One area is the impact of complex trauma on individuals and family systems. In this work I address PTSD caused by long-term family and intimate partner violence and conflict. The other area is how individuals and people in their support systems deal effectively with serious mental illness
