I am skilled at supporting young adults, adults or seniors who feel lost, resigned or overwhelmed by their current life circumstances and do not see a clear pathway to happiness and peace of mind. I have experience providing a compassionate therapeutic space for individuals navigating illness, grief, loss or other major life transitions. After many years of providing empowering and transformative coaching to those I supervised and worked closely with at a nonprofit training and consulting firm, in 2019, I enthusiastically launched my second chapter as a therapist and medical social worker while raising my adolescent daughter.

My extensive experience includes domestic violence, persons living and dying with HIV/AIDS, LGBTQ issues, women's issues, relationships (both hetero and same-sex), death, grief and loss, chronic illness, seniors, caregiver and families, and a range of psychological disorders.
Therapy is an opportunity to develop inner resiliency through psychological insight and compassionate support. This safe space, created by the therapist, is for you to share your feelings, thoughts and emotional pain. The process of deepening self-understanding creates a window to learn who you are, what you need and why. As your therapist, I offer a commitment to meet you "where you are at" with the goal being self-growth and emotional wellness. Vulnerability can feel challenging but the rewards are much greater. I hope to be a part of your healing journey towards greater life fulfillment.
