About My Clients
I see therapy as a collaboration between my client and myself. You are the expert on your life and I offer my education, clinical expertise, and a safe, nonjudgemental space in which to better understand yourself and your experiences. Improving your quality of life is at the center of our work together. Once goals are created, we reach the objectives by exploring coping strategies, improving overall awareness around triggers and symptoms, and finding resources that may be beneficial to you.
My Background and Approach
Since 2009, I have assessed and worked with clients in a variety of settings including the juvenile court, schools, community mental health and addiction centers, and as a consultant in private practice. In addition to treating adolescents and young adults struggling with Adverse Childhood Events (ACE) and other significant mental health challenges, I have over 10 years of experience in helping clients and their families to better understand and utilize the special education supports available to meet their individual academic needs. Upcoming Parenting workshop: "Talking with Tweens & Teens About Difficult Topics (without losing your cool)."

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The foundation of my therapeutic approach is the same as how I approach life as a whole: All humans are worthy and deserve to be treated with care and dignity. By supporting LGBTQ+ community organizations, especially those that understand the importance of intersectionality, I hope the world evolves into a kinder, more equitable place. This translates to creating a safe, supportive space where you can share your struggles, and work through personal challenges without fear of judgement or agenda.
