A bit about me
I am a licensed clinical social worker, and I'd like to partner with you as you find your way towards healing.
I work with adults as they navigate troubling relationships, codependency, and parenting challenges. I also offer couples therapy and support at all stages of a relationship. I am a Level 2 Gottman-trained therapist, placing a strong emphasis on friendship, conflict management, and creating shared meaning.
My practice is compassionate, LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, and client-centered. We will talk about difficult things, but we'll do it with a light touch - balancing depth and intensity with gentleness and care and a bit of humor, too!
During our sessions, we'll talk about your struggles and the thoughts and feelings that get stirred up by them. Then, I'll help you create the tools and find the skills to navigate those challenges differently. It's as simple and complicated as that.

My approach to therapy
My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and grounded in respect for your lived experience.
In our sessions, we'll talk about the real stuff, the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that show up in your life, and we'll do it with a light touch. Depth and gentleness can exist together, and I believe therapy should be both supportive and human.
