As a Marriage & Family therapist, I'm attuned to clients’ interconnected webs of relationships even when working 1-on-1. My experience & training with families & couples enables me to walk with clients through (re)discovering their connectedness to those they love. I’m most passionate about exploring clients’ stories & listening for places where personal narratives might differ from others’. This often provides spaces for clients to explore new or neglected understandings of themselves & their relationships leading to preferred, more fulfilling future stories. I enjoy working with clients across cultural, sexual& gender identities.
I have clients who identify as hetero, bi, gay, lesbian or queer and clients who hold trans- or cis-gender among their identities; also clients in monogamous, poly,&negotiated open relationships.I welcome those with challenges including recovery from substance use disorders, anxiety,depression, as well as relational challenges facing parents and adolescents.
My 20 years of work experience before becoming a therapist equips me with lived understanding of today’s hectic business and corporate life challenges. I realize that just making a 1st appointment can be a bold step and I work to hold a space that honors each step clients take in their journeys with me.
