About

We all possess resilience and strength to achieve healing and personal growth. It is my privilege to empower clients to navigate life’s challenges and move toward joy through a client-centered therapy approach. I utilize a strength-based perspective, direct communication, and touch of humor to assist clients in reaching their therapeutic goals. I practice through a lens of cultural humility and strive to create a welcoming therapeutic space that acknowledges systemic oppression's impact on mental health. I have experience working in trauma hospital acute care and emergency department settings. I specialize in providing therapy for medical workers, EMS, and fire, along with clients and their caregivers who have been impacted by medical issues. I offer clients both psychodynamic and behavioral approaches in order to address issues including depression, anxiety, concerns with substance use, caregiver fatigue, coping with illness, grief, and trauma.
