About

Welcome! Being alive is a curious reality; your outward living in the world (the "doing") and corresponding internal experiences (the "being"). I work with my clients to develop and clarify insights, perspectives and needs and then towards meaningful shifts in communication, choices and behavior. I am "real-world" oriented but understand that existential experience (sense of purpose/despair, direction), life "stage", relationships and family life create nuanced and complicated personal realities. I approach complex and difficult life circumstances and realities (e.g. divorce, illness, financial anxiety, family and caregiver stress, end-of-life, childhood trauma, addiction, job/career dilemmas, life transitions, etc.) directly, and bring curiosity, deep listening and committed engagement to help my clients find pathways forward.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, practicing since 2007. My approach combines supportive counseling, therapy and coaching/guidance. While I currently specialize in medical (Oncology) social work, I have experience supporting people in a variety of ways over my career. I am humanistic and relational in my style and incorporate aspects of various therapeutic modalities (IFC, ACT, CBT, Mindfulness, etc.) into my work. I am professional, proactive, and maintain discretion and confidentiality. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
