By utilizing mindfulness based practices, ecotherapy, somatics and a collaborative, person centered approach, I can support you in moving through life’s challenges and centering your joy. My experience in the mental health field includes providing care for transition aged foster youth, LGBTQ Seniors and youth, and as a therapist in a healthcare setting. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a passion for working with teens, adults, and seniors. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I approach therapy though a systems lens, and I can also support you in navigating social and political pressure on you and your community.
As a member of the queer community, I can relate to the struggles of growing up in a world that didn’t always see us. On our journey together, we will process emotions around inner child wounding and family acceptance, as well as create brilliant visions for your individual and collective healing.
As a collaborative, person-centered practitioner, I will work with you as your teammate in developing goals and exploring your intuition to create steps on your journey to wellness. If you resonate with the qualities I've described here, please contact me to learn more! Now offering Walk-and-Talk therapy in Santa Cruz!
