I am someone who treats clients like the experts of their own lives. Through my training and background, I have a special focus working with complex trauma, children/adolescents and young adults, LGBTQIA+ health, and woman’s health. My goal in supporting youth and their families is to provide psychoeducation while encouraging caregivers and supports to create the opportunity for validation, open dialogue, and autonomy. I work with individuals 5+ and adults from any background with an array of challenges.  

I describe my practice style as person-centered, compassion focused, strength-based, trauma informed, and psychoanalytic. You will often find me using psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, or play therapy techniques in session. My prior experience includes  intensive in-home systemic therapy for children and their families, in-home therapy for children on the Autism Spectrum, in-home respite care for children with different abilities, and group work with LGBTQIA+ youth. Additionally, I developed and facilitate our Girl Power Group: A program of self-discovery and empowerment for high school girls. 

I enjoy camping, cinema, cooking, playing with my pug, Kevin, and spending time with friends/family
