Becoming a social worker and therapist was part of a career change for me. I decided to pursue it when I knew I needed a change and began to realize that the through-line in everything I had done before was related to people - listening to their stories, helping them, and enjoying watching them grow and develop and realize their potential.

I work best with clients who are not looking for a quick fix but rather seek to understand themselves more deeply so that they can feel and function at a higher level.

Therapy is first and foremost a process, and you likely won't feel better initially. In fact, once you start allowing your thoughts and feelings to come into your awareness, you might realize you feel worse. But this is the moment to commit and dig in because it's a sign that you are beginning to heal.

Initially we will chat about what brings you to therapy and we'll begin the process of assessment and diagnosis. Then we will set a few initial treatment goals based on what you feel you most need help with.

My practice is deeply informed by my own experiences with trauma, pain, grief, and loss. What also informs my practice is the fact that I have had a life full of twists and turns, including the need to repeatedly change and reinvent myself, all while not understanding or having the awareness that many of my personal struggles were related to being neurodivergent.

I tailor therapy to each individual by inviting each client to tell me their story as they are ready to do so, and as they share with me I am able to bring various resources into the session, such as psychoeducation, coping skills, or other practices. Because I am responding to each individual's demonstrated and expressed needs, each client's treatment is personal and unique.
