About My Clients

I am most effective with people who have experienced challenges with getting their needs met in childhood. When this happens, our brains adapt and we learn to function in ways that keep us safest at that time, but eventually lose their meaning in adulthood. I’m here to help you recognize patterns, thoughts and beliefs that are no longer serving you, and to support you in making changes so that you can feel most fulfilled in your life.

My Background and Approach

I am a Clinical Social Worker, which means that I come from a strengths-based approach. I believe that you have everything you need to find healing within you, and together, we can make your days feel a little easier and your life feel more authentic to you. I have experience in community mental health (specifically with LGBTQIA+ and HIV+ communities), working with children and families, and the elderly. I am proud and honored by every chance I am given to create space for my clients and help them find the safety they need to grow.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I value the inherent dignity and worth of every individual. I am an advocate for social justice and equity for all oppressed populations.
