My professional experience as a licensed clinical social worker for over 20 years lies in helping families, including families with children, who are facing medical complexities and serious illness, which can often include healthcare trauma, caregiver stress, self-doubt, and grief. This can certainly be isolating, create tensions in relationships, and make the day to day demands of life feel overwhelming.
In my work, I’ve developed a humanist and relational approach to supporting individuals. My style is heavily informed by an attachment perspective and a steadfast belief that everyone holds an evolving story - a story that deserves being told, deserves being honored. Understanding that the needs of each individual seeking therapy is unique, I pull from a variety of modalities in my work, including acceptance and commitment therapy, CBT, DBT, family systems and mindfulness.
Overall, my goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space for clients to uncover resilience in the midst of challenging circumstances and to find meaning while navigating steps forward. I am committed to a culturally humble practice that is trauma informed, neurodivergent and gender expansive affirming, and authentic.
Please know that I appreciate the immense vulnerability in seeking therapy, and I care that my experience is a good clinical fit for your situation and needs.
If you are looking for professional mental health support along with a sense of safety, kindness, and warmth, I welcome the opportunity to help with your care.
My private pay rate for individual counseling and grief care is $140 per 45 minute session.
In network insurances include Cigna, Aetna, and Moda.
I do accept a limited number of sliding scale clients thru The Open Path Collective.
A note about grief care...
Grief is a natural and very human expression to loss and not a diagnosis. However, there are instances where insurance coverage will cover the cost of counseling for individuals seeking support while grieving. If you are interested in using your insurance benefits, please let me know and we can discuss the particular circumstances of your situation.
All sessions are virtual at this time, provided through a HIPAA compliant platform.
Missed sessions will be charged at full rate unless canceled at least 24 hours in advance.
