I love collaborting with adolescents, families, and individuals navigating mental health challenges, life transitions, and any other system adjustments. I support those who are seeking help with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships. It is my goal to be able to assist through a trauma informed, strengths-based, culturally responsive approach by building trusting relationships, fostering resilience, and providing therapeutic and practical tools to promote healing, stability, and growth. I also specialize in working with families raising children with disabilities or chronic health conditions and complexities.
By creating and using a strengths-based and culturally responsive approach and utilizing my foundation as a recreation therapist, I will help facilitate a safe, supportive and creative space where clients feel heard and respected so that growth and healing can take place.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating change, or looking for support, you don’t have to do it alone. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard and understood. When you’re ready, I welcome you to reach out and we can begin moving forward on the healing journey together.
