Are you exhausted from the struggle and looking for a safe judgement-free place; a therapeutic relationship where you can be genuine and not feel you have to “say the right thing”?

I am a Social Worker who is committed to walking alongside you as you navigate life. I offer a warm, non-pathologizing, authentic space for compassionate exploration. I specialize in Grief and Bereavement, Trauma, Navigating Illness and End of Life, Transitional Stress, and Perfectionism.

I work eclectically but draw most intensively from Internal Family Systems, Person-Centred, Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior therapies. I prioritize the therapeutic relationship and the brain/body connection. Our work together is collaborative and flexible.

You may be at a place where it’s hard to imagine things getting any better; that’s an okay starting place. We’ll move towards a place of hope together without inauthentic “silver linings”. I am happy to walk with you within the pain and overwhelm and act as a guide and compassionate witness.

I provide service to youth and adults from an attachment based, trauma-informed and culturally humble place.
