I have over 25 years of experience working with clients who are seeking something better for themselves. I prefer to use strengths to address the concerns that clients would like to work on together. I also believe that the way people think about situations impacts their behavior and rethinking those situations can lead to positive changes.

I believe that every person should have access to a counselor who respects and values the full spectrum of identities that make up the lived experiences of anyone seeking support. I accept ALL clients from ALL backgrounds: people of all creed, belief, LGBTQIA+, ages, stages, and walks of life.

An embodied approach to supporting regulation can help process trauma and build attachments when words and thoughts are not always helpful. I also use the language of play to support the mental health needs of my youngest clients.
