“It takes courage to grow up and become
who you really are.” – E.E. Cummings

I am a board certified clinical social worker (LCSW-C) with over 25 years of clinical experience and training. I enjoy working with individuals and couples and have expertise in working with the LGBTQIA+community and with intimate relationships of all kinds.

Finding the right fit between therapist and client is essential. Clients working with me often express a sense that we are working as a team and appreciate my warm, engaging, and interactive style.

I steer away from a “one-size fits all” approach and apply an eclectic range of theories and modalities tailored to the needs of my clients.
