I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who, before becoming a therapist in private practice, worked in a variety of clinical settings including community mental health, high schools, intensive mental health treatment facilities and college counseling. 

I am passionate about providing quality care that addresses all parts of the person.  Consequently, I utilize mind-body interventions in session, and frequently collaborate with other health professionals when needed.  I bring to therapy a lens that acknowledges the impact of systems and the environment on the health and well-being of clients.

My therapy style is informed by Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Relational and Feminist Therapies, Mindfulness, Trauma- Informed Care and Yoga Philosophies.  I am certified in Yoga-Informed Psychotherapy which provides a solid foundation for integrating "talk therapy" with a body-centered approach.

  The decision to begin therapy isn't easy.  We will work together to create trust so that you can increase self-awareness and make positive steps towards change - change that you determine.  Some of the key interventions I use are mindfulness (teaching you how to be aware of the present moment to decrease reactivity), thought re-framing, and yoga-informed techniques such as deep breathing and specific yoga poses that may help with difficult emotions.

I help individuals work through the following issues:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Life transitions

• Self-esteem

• Trauma

• Grief/Loss

• ADHD

• Relationships

• Eating Issues
