With over 35 years of clinical practice, my journey as a Clinical Social Worker has been both diverse and deeply rewarding. I’ve had the privilege of working with children, families, and adults across a wide range of settings. I bring a strong clinical foundation and skilled expertise in supporting survivors of trauma incorporating multiple modalities that include Somatic Experiencing and EMDR. My experience also includes working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, substance misuse, life transitions and many others. Over the years, I’ve worked in both non-profit and corporate environments, including street outreach, residential treatment programs, foster care, in-home and community-based services. For the past 15 years, I have built a thriving group private practice.

​

The overarching philosophy that guides my practice includes the belief that each of us possesses the inner resources and wisdom to heal and that at our core is a purity that remains untouched despite painful experiences. My study in contemplative practice and spiritual care influences my work and my ability to maintain and hold a compassionate presence as we work together.

​

Over time my practice has evolved and grown and I am excited to share some new offerings:

​

• Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with Journey Clinical - KAP is a holisitc modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy. ​

  • Ketamine is a legal, safe and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety and PTSD. 

  • Ketamine supports people to experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms.

  • As a specially trained KAP psychotherapist, my role is to support you throughout the psychedelic-assisted portion of your treatment. This process typically begins in the office and may transition to remote or self-guided sessions when appropriate and desired. Journey Clinical’s medical team manages all medical aspects of KAP treatment, including determining eligibility, creating a personalized treatment plan, prescribing the medication, and monitoring outcomes.

​

• MotherCircle - ​MotherCircle is an 8-week program designed to support and guide women through their motherhood journey. It offers a structured curriculum that explores various aspects of motherhood, aiming to provide participants with insights, tools, and a supportive community. The program is facilitated by trained leaders who help mothers navigate the complexities and transformations associated with becoming and being a mother. MotherCircle emphasizes personal growth, self-discovery, and the development of meaningful connections among participants.

​

• Safe & Sound Protocol - The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a cutting-edge, evidence-based therapeutic intervention designed to regulate the nervous system and enhance emotional resilience. Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges and grounded in polyvagal theory, SSP uses specially filtered music to gently stimulate the vagus nerve, promoting a sense of safety and connection. This powerful tool can support clients struggling with anxiety, trauma, sensory sensitivities, and more—helping to create a foundation for deeper therapeutic work.

​

I am deeply committed to offering you the highest level of care by combining science-backed, innovative approaches with continuous learning, so I can meet you with the most effective support possible.
