All About Me

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker of Clinical Practice (LISW-CP), I utilize a strengths-focused, client-centered approach to fit your needs and personal goals. I believe that you bring unique perspectives and life experiences to therapy. I place your self-determination at the center of our work together, and provide an authentic, nonjudgmental, and safe space to navigate life’s challenges, difficult transitions, and celebrations, no matter how big or small.

I specialize in working with both adults and adolescents, and provide an affirming, safe therapeutic space for members of the LGBTQ+ community. I am committed to helping my clients navigate through traumatic stress, grief and loss, crime victimization, anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, and various life transitions. I have a strong clinical background in evidence-based therapeutic interventions, including trauma-focused treatments, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and other cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness-based approaches. With an eclectic approach to therapy, I will work collaboratively with you to identify the best approaches that honor your unique values, incorporate your strengths, and empower you in your own personal wellness journey.

Outside of the therapy space I enjoy spending time with my partner, family, and friends. I love traveling, exploring various cultures, cuisines, and the outdoors whenever I can.

I recognize that seeking support and guidance through therapy can be one of the most difficult yet transformational experiences in life. I look forward to meeting with and supporting you as you grow, heal, and define life on your terms.
