We are living in some challenging times. If you’re struggling, that means you’re human. Know that asking for help is a strength. My therapy is collaborative in nature. I treat a range of difficulties using a variety of techniques. I work from an attachment perspective that is emotionally focused. I believe therapy involves the presence of your entire being (mind/body/spirit). Ultimately, I believe human connection is one of the most important healing tools. Thus, I create a safe therapeutic environment where growth and discovery can flourish. I bring my full self to my work – my optimism, my directness, my persistence, my humor.
I am a Certified Grief Informed Professional as well as a Child Mental Health Specialist. I strongly believe that your family of origin influences the dynamics in your relationships and your patterns of behavior. My work is client-centered and strength-based with a commitment to anti-oppression, particularly within the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities.
I have 20+ years of experience working with individuals (children/adolescents, and adults) and families. This includes 4 years of providing mental health services. I pull heavily on my experience as a former middle school teacher and see my role as a teacher and collaborator to help create meaningful change in your life. My practice is open to new clients.
