“The best instructors teach us how to come back to ourselves”.  It takes a lot of courage to take the first step toward yourself.  As a clinical social worker, I don’t pretend to know more than you about what you need, your goals or the best way to get ‘home’.  I simply listen as a supportive witness and point out when your ‘felt sense’ starts to reveal it’s authenticity.  These trailheads often take us down paths that allow us to discover and relieve some of the burden(s) you’ve been carrying.

I work primarily with adults who are managing life changes, stressors, overwhelm or symptoms of mood disorders.  I specialize in working with adults who have suffered trauma or are feeling overwhelmed.  My work with clients encompasses a broad variety of issues, including:

• Mood Dysregulation
• Trauma
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Grief
• Stress
• Self Esteem
• Mood Disorders
• Personality Disorders

I have been trained in Internal Family Systems, in EMDR, and I am intermediately trained in Somatic Experiencing.  These approaches are both a top down and bottom up way of creating safety and space in your body to invite curiosity.  Curiosity is something to celebrate, recognizing curiosity as a compassionate way to expand our awareness and increase stress tolerance. I am particularly dedicated to working with individual adults who are struggling with mood dysregulation and trauma.

I currently accept insurance from the following carriers:

• Aetna
• Blue Cross and Blue Shield
• Cigna
• Humana
• Medicare
• United Healthcare
• Optum and all Optum affiliates
• UMR
• All Savers

For self-pay clients and clients who have other health insurance and would like to schedule on a self-pay basis, my self-pay rate is $200-$250 per session.
