About

I believe that individuals seeking support and healing benefit from a place where they can be fully heard and provided with the space and safety to tell their full stories. I've enjoyed a career working with both youth and adults who struggle with substance use, difficult life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, complex trauma, academic struggle, self-esteem/identity concerns, anger, adoption/out of home placement and family conflict. I value working collaboratively with individuals to determine how they will sustain positive change and maintain growth-fostering connections long after our work together is complete. View 5 Photos I incorporate person-centered, strengths-based, bio-psycho-social, motivational interviewing, solutions-focused and trauma informed perspectives. I'm certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and I enjoy the use of humor, creativity/art, novelty, mindfulness, music, media, games, story telling/narrative work and play in therapy.
