About me

My background is unique for a clinical social worker. I began my professional career as an attorney working in the public interest sector as a civil rights advocate for women, people of color, and the disabled.

After practicing law for 10 years, I was at home raising my children for a decade. During that time, I did a lot of volunteer work and discovered that my true passion lay in the field of clinical social work. And so, in midlife, I went back to school for a Master's Degree in social work. For me, law and social work go hand in hand.

Both professions can help give a "voice" to individuals whose needs are not being met. As a therapist, I help my clients explore both what is going well in their lives in addition to what changes they hope to make. We then collaborate on a goal and work together to break this down into small, achievable steps. I am continually inspired by my clients' courage in facing life's challenges openly and realistically. It is an honor to work with them.
