About My Clients
I have particular experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients, new and postpartum parents, teenagers and their parents, adoptive families, students transitioning to college, parents of children with special needs, and families coping with medical challenges.
My Background and Approach
I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1999, and my Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Chicago in 2001. I have been in private practice for almost 16 years, but have been practicing social work for closer to 25 years. And I love being a therapist. Choosing to invite someone new into your inner life or that of your child is a big deal and it should be. Deciding to engage in the therapeutic process will be one of the most important steps you take toward healing whether it be for yourself, your child, or your family. Because I have been through this process for myself, my children, for my entire family, I understand what's involved. I understand the faith and trust required to arrive at your first therapy session. In my practice the healing journey includes hope, encouragement, safety, empowerment, and discernment. Together we can nurture your strengths, heal old wounds, and find the help you are looking for.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing happens in spaces where people feel safe, respected, and truly heard. I understand how past experiences can shape how we see ourselves and how we move through the world. My work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and choice. I strive to create a steady, supportive environment where you feel empowered rather than judged, curious rather than pressured. I believe healing is not about “fixing” you — it’s about understanding your nervous system, honoring your identity, and reconnecting you with your strengths, resilience, and sense of self. You deserve care that feels safe, validating, and authentically aligned with who you are.
