Clinical Approach
​
I believe in an eclectic and collaborative approach to working with my clients. Since we are all the true expert of ourselves, it is important that I provide a space that nourishes individuality, empowerment, and vulnerability. My clinical approach encompasses a variety of evidenced-based interventions that allow me to build a strong therapeutic relationship, while gaining an understanding of each person's lived experiences. My goal is to help identify and nourish strengths, to reframe situations, thoughts, or feelings that have previously caused suffering, and to explore meaning and purpose.

Social Location
​
I am a white, cisgender female in my mid 40's and I am part of the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community. I am the youngest of eight children, and I must say, the coolest. My siblings might disagree?! I love anything animals, music, art, and although my wife has the green thumb, plants bring me tranquility and I love having them surround me. If you ventured into my home, there is a great chance you would experience all the of the above, and the whimsical healing presence of sage and/or palo santo.
