I genuinely believe deep healing is within your reach, and that solutions
are waiting to be found within your own strengths and insights. 

    People with whom I work have experienced dramatic or
unexpected life change, job separation, relationship loss
--including the traumatic death of a loved one--
complex grief, mental health distress, family substance abuse,
or physical, sexual or psychological trauma.

A compassionate collaborator, my purpose is to accompany
and guide you on your journey toward self-discovery
and the restoration of hope, wholeness and connection with self and others. 

    Based on a relationship-centered approach, my clinical experience
includes Attachment-Informed Trauma Treatment, Body-Mind Connection,
Client-Education and Empowerment, Family Systems, Gestalt (Integrating Parts of Self),
Existential, Mindfulness-based CBT, Psychodynamic and Narrative Therapy. 

I continually re-assess my work through the lens of cultural relevancy
and social justice, both values I cherish.

    Trust and emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual safety
are essential to our work together.  I welcome your feedback.
