About my clients
I work with adults feeling overwhelmed by recent events or long-standing challenges. My clients seek real, lasting change—not quick fixes—and appreciate honesty, occasional swearing, and a compassionate, no-B.S. approach. Therapy helps you understand yourself, regain control, and move toward the life you want, with support for growth, self-compassion, and acceptance.

Background & approach
As a clinical social worker, I see you in the context of your relationships, community, culture, and life experiences. With psychoanalytic training, I guide deep emotional and mental exploration to help you move through stuck places and create lasting change. I also use skills-based tools when helpful—therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.

About me
I value community, equity, and inclusivity and am committed to serving people from all backgrounds. I’m passionate about this work—part nerd, part cool—and bring integrity, privacy, and genuine connection to our sessions.

No concern is too small; pain is real, and powering through only works for so long. If you are looking for change, let’s get this thing rolling! Click on the “Contact Us” button and mention me!
