About My Clients

Stuck. We've all been there at some point in our lives in some way or another. Whether it presents as depression, anxiety, OCD, substance or behavioral addictions, PTSD, or more, the essential feeling of being stuck is so similar. Through the hard work of acceptance and change, I help clients find healing and build lives of meaning and fulfillment.

My Background and Approach

With ten years of social work and nonprofit experience, I have accompanied people with diverse backgrounds, challenges, and values. As a a clinical social worker, I seek to embody anti-oppression, affirm all identities, and prioritize sustainable, just, and holistic system change.
