Great to meet you!

The guiding principle to my work with others is you are the expert on you and my job is to give you fresh ways of looking at situations, help you figure out solutions, and help make new ways of living endure. No matter the challenge - mental health, substance use, relationships, transitions, trauma, or a combination of them I work with you to navigate a positive way forward. Leveraging your strengths & guided by your values we work together toward getting you living in concert with your values.

A bit about my approach to therapy

The tools I use include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative therapy, and Solutions Focused Therapy. I am strengths focused and believe your cup is half full! My heart lies with those in marginalized communities, LGBTQ, communities of color, seniors, & children from 12 years of age.

What you can expect from our first session

If you find yourself reading this, then there is a chance you may need someone to listen and help you move forward. I can help you move in a positive direction toward hope and a more fulfilling life. At the end of a session, I want you to feel that you have been heard, supported, maybe challenged.
