I was a practicing social worker for 10 years in community mental health before I took time off to raise my daughter and pursue other career avenues. I decided to return to start my private practice right after the pandemic hit in 2020, a time of great need and a time where I had some time on my hands to really decide how I wanted to move forward in my own life and career. Although intense at times, it has been extremely rewarding to help people whose struggle I know personally with my own battles with mental health issues. I see my work as an extension of advocacy work to promote openness and inclusivity around mental health issues. I am a fully licensed clinical social worker (LICSW).
My passions outside of my practice include watching my daughter play basketball (and losing to her in one-on-one), trail running, making experimental music, and all things vegan.
Kalla
Dogs have played a huge role in my life and have contributed greatly to enhancing my well being. My dog Kalla, was a beautiful corgi-beagle mutt I rescued from a shelter. She changed me and my lifestyle in countless ways. She remains my beacon. I dedicate my practice to her memory.
