About My Clients

I had a philosophy professor who said their answering machine held the two most important questions we could ask ourselves. “Who are you? and “What do you want?” We don’t always know what those answers are, but we can find them out together. Whether you’ve been in therapy before or this is your first step towards change, I am confident we can create goals that are right for you.

My Background and Approach

I believe that it is our relationships and connections that allow us to feel whole in this world, and despite my eclectic and often out-of-the-box approach, I believe that the foundation for success remains within that core foundation. I strive to lead with kindness and compassion, with just enough humor to aid in healing. Each person has experienced hardship in life and I am no exception, but as I grew I knew it wasn’t enough to just speculate as to how and why people behavior the way they do, but to try to help them in lessening the burden of what they’re experiencing.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a social worker, I have a strong belief in the dignity and worth of every person. Connections formed with that basis have a lasting effect on our lives, and I believe that by fostering our inner strengths we can better connect to those things that hold us back. I also have a strong belief in fun, even in therapy, I will challenge you to try new things, dance, read, sing, and learn about yourself in new ways.
