About My Clients
I have special interest and extensive training in working with individuals (ages 2+), couples, and families impacted by trauma and dissociation, self-destructive behaviors, and who want to improve relationships with self, partner(s), family and worlds. Maybe you’re feeling stuck and not sure what’s keeping you there. I believe that you’re doing the best you can and your actions are understandable in light of your experiences.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
If it's helpful for you, I'm happy to talk about religion as it relates to your well-being. I did a semester of seminary before my faculty told me that they thought my calling was in mental health. I'm also a certified Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga facilitator, which gave me a grounding in several other faith backgrounds and traditions. If you bring it up, I will not think you're crazy. I'm queer and non-binary and active with the LBGTQIAP+ community. At the end of the day, I'm passionate about making sure folks with mental distress are treated with dignity and respect. Regardless of what your history and/or our culture may tell you, you matter.
