I use a warm, down-to-earth approach in my work with children, teens, adults and couples. I collaborate with clients to develop a whole view of challenges and strengths, which is informed by my wide breadth of clinical experience across the lifespan. I have expertise in working with infants and parents, developmental disabilities, trauma, and both anticipated and unexpected crises across all ages. I integrate these perspectives so that I can attune to your needs and provide responsive support. My hope is to help you water the seeds of your inner strengths, push through stuck situations, and live with more connectedness and vitality.
My approach is flexible. Growth can mean improving communication and emotional expression or gaining insight into the impact of the past on current situations. Other times, we just need practical advice. I also incorporate expressive arts, identity and spiritual development, narrative therapy, and project-oriented activities as catalysts for healing.
I believe it is a privilege to join you on your life journey. I take great care to honor your unique background, values, and preferences with respect and compassion so that you can “tell your story” and begin the healing process. My hope is to not only help you overcome challenges, but also live a more meaningful life with purpose and joy.
