In practice since 2000, I’m a licensed clinical social worker, providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy. I have expertise working with people experiencing challenges in their relationships and have been helping people of various neuro-types and socio-cultural backgrounds navigate their challenges for almost 30 years. I also have expertise working with autistic people and their families, including providing neurodiversity-affirming couples and family therapy. I believe that through a process of self-observation, clients find their vitality and resiliency and learn ways to take an active role in creating change in their lives. I create an atmosphere of empathy, warmth, and acceptance in therapy. I draw from therapeutic approaches that are relational and encourage reflection and action to create change. These approaches include Relational Life Therapy, Bowen Family Systems Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness.

I earned my Bachelor’s in dance with a concentration in psychology at St. Olaf College and my Masters of Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore.  I’m advanced certified in Relational Life Therapy and I’m on the faculty of the Relational Life Institute as a RLT trainer. I also trained in the Post-Graduate Study Program at the Bowen Center for the Study of the Family and in the SPACE approach by Dr. Eli Lebowitz of the Yale Child Study Center. I’m a professional member of the American Family Therapy Academy (AFTA) and of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). I am a Board Certified Clinical Supervisor.

I provide individual, couples, and family therapy for adolescents, young adults, and adults with a specialty in neurodiversity-affirming couples therapy. To request a free, brief consultation, click “Request an Appointment”.
