Hi! I'm glad you found your way here. Reaching out can be terribly difficult. Often filled with anxiety, fear, and self-doubt. I've been there. Along the way, I've experienced how essential it is to talk with someone eager to listen deeply, respond compassionately, and support journeys of healing in creative and thoughtful ways. Whether you're facing a point of challenge, a period of crisis, or a chronic issue, I welcome the opportunity to bring my experience and training alongside your experience, values, and goals. Together, we can make something decent of this strange, messy, and perhaps even beautiful world.
My foundational approach is Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) which emphasizes building a mindful, meaningful, resilient life that can withstand life's storms & revel in its beauties. I seek to embody anti-oppression, affirm all identities, and prioritize sustainable and holistic system change. I work with individuals age 14+, relationships, & families.
Over 10 years of social work and nonprofit experience, I've come alongside people with diverse backgrounds, challenges, values, & goals. Sometimes it's hard to believe better can be had. Living ain't easy and pain is inevitable, but healing can come. One step, one moment at a time. I look forward to traveling with you.
