About My Clients
I welcome teens through adults to contact me for a free consultation to talk about your needs. I'm available to support clients through periods of transition, grief, loss, relationship issues, school and work stress, vocational discernment, parenting challenges, and many other life hurdles. Often, the hardest part of therapy is finding a therapist who matches your preferences and making contact with them. Kudos to you for taking this first step!
My Background and Approach
I've spent many years working directly with college and high school students and their families dealing with real life issues that get in the way of enjoying real life. While everyone's story is different there are some common themes that people in their teens, 20s, and 30s confront as challenges and unwanted stressors. We can work together to tackle those and grow through them.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Since college, way back in the '90s!, I've attempted to stand on the side of social justice and in solidarity with people on the margins. That belief in the dignity of all people is what led me to spend a year as a full-time volunteer after college, to pursue a masters in social work, to engage in cultural and language immersion programs in Central and South America, and to work at mission-centered institutions that prioritize community service and the common good, and to emphasize "cura personalis" or care of the whole person in my counseling work.
