With over 15 years working in the mental health field supporting littles through adulthood, I believe the greatest gift you can offer others in building a therapeutic relationship, is to be your authentic self. My intention is to always practice this in my life, as well as with my clients, every time we meet. 

I work through an attachment lens and provide trauma informed, family systems approach, and neuro affirming support, while I continually work to grow my cultural awareness in life and in my practice. I use a feminist lens and am passionate about supporting girls and women who have experienced sexualized violence.

Therapeutic Approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Family Systems; Dialectical Behavioral Therapy; Attachment Therapy; Circle of Security; Sand Tray and Play Therapy; Narrative Therapy; Trauma Therapy.

Practice: Mental Health-provisional diagnosis and associated treatment, suicide assessment and treatment. Supporting historical attachment and trauma injuries. Creating a safe environment to build a strong working relationship for littles and adults.
