Do you, all too often, experience situations that feel debilitating and even insurmountable? Do you repeat patterns of behavior that are no longer working for you and seem to add to professional, and/or relational conflicts or stressors? I am a social worker with over a decade of experience. I specialize in navigating life transitions with the goal of building resilience and post-traumatic growth. I work with clients around issues such as queer identity, divorce, being a caretaker, chronic illness, long covid, and bereavement. I have also have extensive expertise in harm reduction models and am also a professional mediator.
In our sessions, there is a client-guided balance between psychodynamic exploration of understanding the “whys” behind our behaviors and confronting concrete challenges in the present. We look not only at why you react the way you do but also how - both from our basic wiring and learned experiences. You are encouraged to bring music and art to our sessions.
I uphold the belief that it is, more often than not, impossible to decouple personal and societal traumas. My interactive approach avoids pathologizing and, instead, examines the broader communities we occupy & the agency we have to make incremental changes. Healing is an ongoing, non-linear process, and I look forward to working in partnership with you.

I primarily utilize psychodynamic and relational models of psychotherapy. Within the relational model, there is attention paid to societal systems of power which impact our psyche. I am separately a professional mediator and support clients in learning non-violent, de-escalating modes of communication. I continue to train in a variety of treatment modalities. My work is always trauma-informed.
