Hi folks,

The picture you see above is what you get. I am a middle aged, white, lesbian, with experience in parenting and caretaking.

I am deeply committed to studying and practicing anti-racism, and recognize the limitations of my demographic point of view.

With a background in working with children and adults dealing with the stress of family separation, I have experience with acute mental health challenges, substance use disorders, and trauma. I am working with adults at this time.
