I am a therapist who believes in the power of story- the stories we inherit, the ones we carry, and the ones we are still learning to speak. I work with children, teens, families, and adults of all ages including elders. With kids, I create spaces that feel playful, safe and imaginative. With adults, I offer a steady presence for processing trauma, mood challenges, loss, and moments of profound transition. Suicide prevention and trauma informed care are central to my practice, and I approach each session with curiosity, compassion, and a belief in the resilience of the human spirit.
My approach blends narrative therapy, CBT, and DBT in a way that is warm, practical, and tailored to each persons needs. My work is always client-centered- shaped by your goals, your pace, and your story. Healing is not linear, but it is possible, and you don't have to walk it alone.
Whether someone is working through loss, rebuilding after a crisis, or seeking tools for emotion regulation, I meet them with curiosity, dignity, and hope. I believe every person has a story worth honoring - and the healing begins when we feel seen, heard and supported.

I am educated in various modalities. I begin primarily Strengths-based and Client-focused. I integrate others from there. My favorites are Narrative Therapy, CBT and DBT. I have also found success with Solution Focused and Play Therapy. (I have a bunch of puppets) which have been a big hit!
