My orientation is strength-based; I seek to create a working alliance of safety and trust. I am trained in a number of clinical methods, notably trauma-based treatment. I am non-judgmental, goal-oriented, child-centered, and I believe in the importance of making everyone I work with feel relaxed and comfortable. I work toward understanding the holistic nature of my clients, and help them understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As a clinical Social Worker, I have worked with children, teens, and young adults with behavior problems since 1978. For the last 20 years, I have worked in Community Mental Health settings with children, teens, families, adults. I have experience working with dual diagnosis, trauma, and a variety of other mental health presentations.

I'm a clinical social worker rooted in the ideals of self-determination, community justice, dignity, and liberation. I love working with youth and adults who have experienced life's hard edges and are ready to grow through the struggle. Whether it's dealing with the effects of trauma, depression or anxiety, issues in your relationships with yourself or others, the struggle of bringing your full and complex self into the world, or the psychic toll of structural inequality, I'll help you take stock of your strengths, create opportunities, and build your skills to diminish your suffering.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I have been a therapist for 17 years and have dedicated my life to helping others overcome painful experiences, manage emotions and find healing. I specialize in treating adults struggling with anxiety, substance use and working with the LGBTQ+ community. My therapeutic style is warm, supportive and encouraging. I use a nonjudgmental approach focused on empowering you to make changes in your life. My approach is rooted in the understanding of how systemic inequality impacts those of us with marginalized identities. We each have unique experiences and needs and one therapeutic approach will not work for everyone. I will work to understand you and your goals for our time together. Together we will determine what steps you need to take to get where you want to be. Painful experiences and overwhelming emotions can leave you feeling helpless and out of control. My goal is to teach you tools to regain your sense of control and learn how to trust yourself. I focus on helping you identify your strengths and makes changes in your life.

Reaching out for help can be overwhelming and scary. How do you know which counselor to talk to? How do you know if it’s a good fit? What do all the letters mean after everyone’s names? What are my friends and family going to think if they hear I’m in counseling? There is so much confusion and stigma around mental health, and I would love to help you make sense of the process. I have extensive experience working with individuals in crisis, helping them find reasons to stay alive and ways to cope with what can feel like all-consuming depression and sorrow. I also have experience working with individuals who are experiencing difficulties with overuse of alcohol and drugs and can help plot a course toward harm-reduction and a more rewarding life. I love working with teenagers and college age students. It’s during this time that people often are struggling to find their identity, who they love, and what they want out of their lives. It’s also during this time that difficult symptoms tend to start making an appearance. Learning how to cope now can lessen the effects later in life and lead to much healthier and holistic outcomes. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations to see if I am the best fit for your needs. Let’s get connected today and start working towards a future you are excited about.
