I have been licensed to practice therapy in the state of California for the past 15 years. I have experience working with children, teens and young adults, as well as with parents who want support working through challenging relationships with one another and with their children. I enjoy working with clients with a wide variety of treatment goals, including reducing depression and anxiety, working through trauma, and increasing connection with natural supports. I primarily focus on trauma and attachment issues, as well as using a strengths based approach to support clients in identifying and meeting their goals. I believe in the importance of establishing a strong therapeutic alliance as a keystone for success. I have experience working with neurodiverse clients, and I support the neurodiversity movement.
