If you feel ready to explore and transform self-defeating patterns, beliefs, and behaviors, I’d be honored to partner with you in a journey towards lasting change. My priority is to listen closely, creating a supportive environment that allows us to collaborate on a plan that will get to the root of the issues that brought you to therapy. We will work on expanding your toolbox of skills to make life more manageable, attending to emotional, physical, spiritual, and cultural factors that can open new pathways for healing. I will integrate a broad array of therapeutic orientations and tools in order to help you move in new directions. These could include mindfulness, emotional regulation, strength-based/solution focused, cognitive/behavioral (CBT, ACT, DBT), parts work/ internal family systems (IFS), psychodynamic, attachment styles, sandtray, interpersonal neurobiology, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
I work with adults and adolescents who are experiencing life transitions, loss, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, trauma, and chronic pain/illness. Working in a busy psychiatric practice over the past decade has given me experience with complicated mental health presentations, PTSD, ADHD, TBI, bipolar, complex and developmental trauma, personality disorders, and treatment resistant depression. I have prior experiences in school social work, residential substance abuse, and mediation. When my children were young, I taught piano to all ages from a home studio. In addition to my work, I love reading, walking the woods, gardening, playing piano, choral singing, and spending time with my husband, our two adult children and beloved miniature dachshund.

Welcome! Starting counseling is not easy and by coming here you have taken an important first step. This is meant to be a safe and non-judgmental space. I am a licensed master social worker with a wide variety of life experiences which have given me the opportunity to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. I am continually working to expand my therapeutic knowledge and skills in order to offer clients the right treatment for individual needs. That said I do embrace aspects of “positive psychology”. I like to accentuate what is right with you and not focus only on what is “wrong” with you. I have specialized training in Infant Mental Health, several behavioral therapies (DBT, CBT, ACT, MBCT), Child Parent Psychotherapy, and trauma informed therapies. I lean towards the so called “third wave” cognitive behavioral therapies which include concepts such as acceptance and mindfulness. I have experience treating people with a range of challenges including but not limited to depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, PTSD and trauma. I believe that everyone has the capacity to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life. Sometimes we face challenges and barriers which may seem overwhelming. Therapy can help identify the source of these challenges and how to overcome them.
Currently I work with adults and couples, and accept most major insurances.
