About My Clients
Most of the people I work with are in the midst some sort of life transition. Sometimes everything is going great and then something changes- a career change, a relationship ends, a child joins your family- and it feels like everything has fallen apart. Or maybe they felt like they were hanging on by a thread and something came up that caused the thread to finally snap. I currently work with adult individuals and couples. Adoptive and foster parents are a special interest for me.
My Background and Approach
I have fifteen years’ experience supporting people as they work through life challenges, serving people from all backgrounds and across the spectrum of mental health diagnoses. My approach to therapy is collaborative: you are the expert in your life, I am the expert in mental wellness, and together we can forge a path forward into a life that is peaceful and meaningful for you. I utilize many different approaches to therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Internal Family systems, Emotionally Focused therapy, and a myriad of pieces of other evidence-based practices.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am passionate about breaking intergenerational trauma and helping people build peaceful families. Families can look like everything from one adult and their beloved yet temperamental Iguana, Harold, to a traditional heterosexual couple with fourteen children and six in-laws living in one home. I am especially experienced working with adult children of abusive and dysfunctional parents. These backgrounds can cause challenges throughout our lives, but many of my clients come to me when they become parents themselves and are actively working on building a family that is more harmonious and supportive than their family of origin. I love children and want my work to create deep impact in their lives; I have found the very best way to do that is to help the adults in their lives to be the healthiest versions of themselves. My background is in community social work. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to social justice in my practice.
