I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has spent my entire career working to understand why mental health is just as important as our physical and spiritual health. I enjoy working directly with a wide range of client populations, ages 14 -65+ years old. I am particularly interested in working with clients struggling with post- traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and societal related stressors. I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment to help client’s process underlying feelings, emotions, and thoughts in order to minimize stress, mobilize coping skills, and access social resources.

Navigating significant transitions is challenging for everyone, particularly when they impact your identity, culture, or values. During our therapy sessions, we will dedicate time and space to explore, define, and deepen your understanding of yourself, your relationships with others, and your connection to the world. By articulating difficult feelings, you will gain control over strong emotions rather than letting them control you. My goal is to empower my clients to discover their inner resources in the face of transitions, especially those that evoke feelings of instability, loss, isolation, uncertainty, and fear.

In order for us to grow, we must challenge our preconceived notions of self and experiences, as those are what shape our truths. We are not alone, even when it feels as if we are. We are connected to the thousands of lives that have touched ours and have had a hand in creating who we are. I approach my work through a systemic lens, in other words, I see the world as a huge ball of yarn. Those strings are our connectedness, the relationships we hold that connect us to our culture, our family, our history, and our future.
