I am a strength based, client centered, solution focused therapist who believes in your innate capacity to heal. My experience includes 13 years working with individuals, couples, families, children, and teens; juvenile, family, and court-ordered cases and LGBTQIA issues (such as coming out and acceptance). In my work with clients, I use a strength-based lens and combine evidence-based practices with somatic-based modalities.
Making the decision to seek help with relationship issues, life changes, or inner conflict can be difficult. I respect your courage to seek help and will support you as you take the steps toward healing and change. As we know life can be challenging at best, so I believe it is important to be authentic and bring humor into my work with clients when appropriate.
