About me
I work with families and individuals of all ages to promote healing from complex trauma and other mental health challenges.
I work in a warm and relationship-based manner, welcoming the use of art, play, and humor along with psychodynamic talk therapy. My practice welcomes clients from all walks of life with a particular focus on the queer and genderqueer community, people coping with the impacts of disability or chronic illness, and survivors of childhood or ongoing trauma.
