I believe people are experts in their own lives and so I meet them where they are, in the moment. That is why I offer a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment in which to safely explore life challenges, heal, and grow. I draw from multiple theories including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness Based, Person Centered and Trauma Focused therapies.
I bring six years experience in counseling and over twenty years as advocate for children, teens, adults, and families exposed to and/or struggling with societal inequities, mental illness, substance abuse, and/or domestic and sexual violence. I have worked extensively in the fields of domestic and sexual violence and offer an insight and understanding of the unique challenges faced by survivors in any stage of their healing.
