Together we can collaborate towards a greater well-being.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. With over 20 years of experience in the healthcare field, I have dedicated my career to helping others as a clinical social worker and therapist. Through my experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, I have witnessed the incredible potential that every individual holds within them. I firmly believe in the possibility of change and am committed to helping my clients move forward in the ways that are best for them.

“Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.”

Therapy

Feel heard and respected

I strive to combine warmth, empathy, humility, and practicality to make you feel genuinely valued and heard. We will focus on personalized strategies to suit your specific needs. One of my goals is that my clients will walk away from each session feeling they’ve made some progress.

Our sessions will be:

Personalized

Through our initial conversations, we will work to develop a rich understanding of what you are experiencing and what strategies might be most useful.

Targeted

Not every therapeutic approach fits for every person. Through collaborative dialogue and shared understanding, we’ll work on addressing your issues and goals with specific approaches that fit for you. 

Integrative

Our overall health and well-being is based on multiple, inter-connected domains. These domains might include our emotional health, physical health, our work, spirituality, relationships and community, environment, impact of systemic issues, and others. In our work, we’ll focus on you as a whole person, not just the problem for which you may be seeking therapy. We’ll think together about how you might focus on all aspects of yourself and what matters to you in order to build greater overall well-being.
