Great to meet you!

I have worked with adolescents and adults for the past 35 years in various capacities. I believe it is my job as your therapist to walk with you on your healing journey. I believe in creating a safe place for clients to feel comfortable sharing their personal stories. I strive to honor my client's wisdom of self and their experience while also building a relationship of trust and understanding between therapist and client.

My approach to therapy

I bring a wide range of experience from working in Child Welfare, Residential Programs, Domestic Violence, Juvenile Justice systems, and school systems. My area of concentration is working with teens and adults through life challenges. I meet clients where they are in their healing process and use trauma-informed, strengths-based approaches.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will work on getting to know each other and exploring goals for therapy.
