About My Clients

Are you feeling stuck in negative patterns of thought or behavior? I can assist you in identifying underlying processes that sustain these patterns, and with learning new ways to make positive changes. All lifestyles are welcome, I want to help you be your best self whoever that may be!

My Background and Approach

I have many years of experience working in both community mental health and in private practice. I have completed specialized training in EMDR for the treatment of trauma and negative thoughts, and my experience in crisis mental health has made me comfortable working with individuals with suicidal ideation or self- harming behaviors. Working in a chemical dependency treatment environment has given me significant experience to assist those struggling with addiction issues in themselves or others. My experience practicing in a military community has also provided me with knowledge about the unique difficulties faced by military members and their families.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have been involved throughout my life in women’s health, human rights, immigrant rights and animal welfare organizations. I was deeply unsettled by the changes in the US around the 2016 election, and like many others I became increasingly involved with social justice groups and political activism, which was both empowering and discouraging. I am currently living as an expat in Costa Rica.
