I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 9 years of experience serving folks from diverse backgrounds. I work with children, teens, couples and families facing a variety of challenges. Growth and healing can be an intense process, but I am confident you already have what it takes to do this! You may just need to be reminded of the strengths you possess.
I am systems focused in my approach with an emphasis on collaborative therapy work that is practical and solution-focused. What this briefly means is that I look at challenges from a larger holistic view where the sum is greater than a collection of isolated parts. While I enjoy working with a variety of people of all ages, my particular strengths and training are related to complex trauma, struggles with socialization, neurodivergence, family/couple communication issues, attachment difficulties and I am LGBTQIA+ allied
Our first few sessions will focus on defining what progress looks like for you. There will be ongoing open conversations about your experiences in therapy (past and present). My goal is to make sure you feel supported and in charge of your treatment where we collaborate and challenge each other as needed in this process.
