As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe in every person's capacity to heal, grow and foster meaningful tranformation in their lives. In my practice, I am a companion to adults across the lifespan who have powerful stories to tell. People who work with me are often looking to develop a deeper, more conscious relationship with themselves. I strive to build a secure relationship with my clients, within which we might begin to reckon with experiences of complex trauma, process profound grief and pain, support greater connection with one's body, and make space for all aspects of one's Self to step into the light and be known.

With everything that life throws at us, it can be difficult to process through it all alone. Seeking help can be scary and vulnerable, but it is also one that indicates your strengths. I believe that therapy allows for an opportunity to gain insight and learn strategies to face life’s challenges.

I have over 15 years of experience working with adults, perinatal and other women’s issues, children, teens, and families in both hospitals and private practice settings.
As a psychotherapist, I work collaboratively with you to problem solve, improve your coping skills, heal from past traumas and make positive life changes. Our work together will help you develop a better understanding of yourself and patterns of behavior. Additionally, I partner with parents and primary caregivers to develop strategies and gain a better understanding of the meaning behind children’s behavior. I believe working directly with primary caregivers can be more effective in achieving change than working one-on-one with a young child. I provide my clients with an environment based on sensitivity, empathy and respect.

As psychologists, clinical social workers and neuropsychologists, we provide services to children as young as 2 through older adults.
Today's children are faced with many pressures. Kids worry about lots of things-from being accepted by their peers and parents to worrying about academic pressures, ADHD, divorce, crime, drugs and illness.
We understand these issues must be treated with great sensitivity-especially when working with children and adolescents. And that it is important that the therapeutic process be a positive experience in which young people feel safe and nurtured. Our goal is to help young people trust this process and understand that we're on "their team" as we help them successfully manage their world.
