Everyone deserves to reach their full potential; to thrive in life; to love and to be loved. We weren't meant to do it all on our own! It is my mission to help individuals, couples, and families on their path toward fulfilling and functional lives. Whether healing from trauma or abuse, facing adversity, dealing with transitions or loss, relationship and family challenges, personal growth, life stressors, or mental health issues, I will work alongside you to reach your goals with a dynamic, strengths-based approach.
I have extensive training in: abuse and trauma; attachment and relationships; family systems; oppression; restorative justice; sexual concerns; resilience; Gestalt techniques; Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and; Child Parent Psychotherapy. I incorporate socio-political realities of people's lives and believe we all deserve healthy happy lives.
