Hello- Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I love working with adolescents and adults. I am particularly interested in working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, facilitating trauma processes, and substance use recovery. Positivity, laughter, music, and creativity are essential elements of my practice. I look forward to helping you identify your strengths while expressing difficulties through modalities that fit your abilities and preferences.

I use an integrative and systemic approach to therapy with an emphasis on building a strong relationship of felt safety with my clients. I have over 20 years of experience in schools, alcohol/drug treatment, hospital, community, and detention settings. I affirm all gender expressions and experiences, sexual orientations, and consensual relationship styles.

I believe that healing happens when we feel safe enough to authentically connect to self and others. I look forward to hearing from you, whoever you are, however you identify, and wherever you are on your journey.
