I believe in meeting clients where they are at! Every person is resilient. I intend our collaboration to remind you of your strengths, provide you tools to weather the storms of life, and a safe space to gain insight into your truest self. I come to social work from a social justice background and recognize that trauma and oppression are often intertwined. Acknowledging systemic issues is a vital part of my practice, particularly for youth and families directly impacted by it. Teaching you to advocate successfully on your own behalf, whether it be in your relationships or larger systems, is also essential.
I work with children, teens and adults (ages 4+). My primary specialties are LGBTQ+ issues, particularly working with Trans and NB youth, grief and loss issues, and pregnancy and parenting issues. I also have experience working with multicultural families. I have extensive experience with behavioral and mood issues, as well as neurodivergence.
My therapy modalities include cognitive behavior therapy, multicultural family therapy, narrative therapy, Trauma-focused CBT, play therapy and feminist therapy. I use a trauma-informed, strengths-based collaborative approach. Combining Expertise, Passion and Presence
