Introduction

I'm a licensed clinical social worker who blends evidence-based therapy with warmth, humor, and genuine curiosity about who you are. My approach draws from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — practical, research-backed tools paired with real conversation about what actually matters to you. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, ADHD, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, mood disorders, and the everyday weight of trying to live a life that feels aligned with your values. In addition to my MSW, I hold an MDiv, and my approach is shaped by curiosity about meaning, purpose, and the sacred — without any religious agenda. Whether you're spiritual, skeptical, or somewhere in between, I'll meet you where you are. Therapy with me is collaborative and human. If you're ready to take a first step, I'd love to hear from you.
