Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Welcome to a place of refuge.
A safe space where you can heal, learn, and move forward.

Are you ready to make meaningful changes in your life? I can help you on that journey. With gentle guidance, my clients identify sources of stress and reduce "residues of shame" that may be holding them back. Together, we chart the way towards a greater sense of aliveness and self-acceptance – always at a pace that's right for you.

While we work towards a better future, sometimes we need to delve into the past – particularly "the past that is still alive in the present." Often, talk therapy alone is not sufficient to transform stress and pain into greater peace and fulfillment. For those who have suffered disturbing emotions or trauma, I am also trained to use EMDR, a technique that may help you reprocess your distress through stimulation of both sides of the brain, leaving you freer to heal and live in the present.
