Hi — I'm glad you're here. I hope my website gives you a sense of what working together might look like.

For the past twenty-five years, a significant part of my work has been sitting with people through their hardest moments — first as a social worker, then in various mental health settings alongside therapists, psychiatrists, crisis clinicians, and nurses, and now as a therapist in private practice. My goal is to help people find some relief from the cycle of difficult thoughts and emotions that they can't seem to shake. I believe pain can be a catalyst. It often points toward something that is important.

My experience spans a lot — relatively brief, high-stakes moments in crisis settings, and longer stretches of focused work with people who sometimes return when something new comes up. I have a "come as you are" mentality when it comes to sessions. Tired, grumpy, not sure what you want to say, or showing up with a set agenda — all of that is great. I don't want anyone to feel like they have to perform.
