I value working with teens and adults in a supportive non-judgmental way. I assist people who may be challenged with shame, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, substance use issues/recovery, communication issues, parent/child relationship difficulties, trauma, lack of self-care, and low self-esteem. Often people are struggling with something in their lives that is out of balance or going through a transition and reinventing themselves. Basically, I help people find their way again. I am a LGBTQ+ affirming, and gender-affirming therapist. I am also a culturally responsive and social justice-oriented therapist.
I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities such as Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness practices. I will individualize the approach to your care based on modalities in which I am highly trained. I will also rely on your experiences, wisdom, and strengths.
Over the past 20+ years I have committed myself to providing therapeutic services to disenfranchised and marginalized populations by empowering them and reducing stigma. Populations I have worked with include LGBTQ+, HIV+, homeless youth, combat veterans, Native communities, probationers, gang members, and survivors of trauma.
