About My Clients

I am always awed and honored when people and families invite me in. I love working with kids, teens, families and adults. I especially like working with fellow therapists, parents, and people just trying to do their best in a world that does not make it easy to thrive. Whether your struggle is internal, in your relationships, or a result of the broken systems we live in, I’m here to help.

My Background and Approach

I work in an eclectic, collaborative way and I believe our relationship is central to healing. That means I integrate different approaches and theories to get to know you and help you find the best way to stitch your pieces back together, to make something familiar, but new and stronger. Creating that space to break apart, and to imagine and play with the pieces can only be done if I earn your trust. And so a main focus of my work is creating and reinforcing a trusting and creative relationship. And while the medical systems we work within use labels to categorize and dictate your care, I prioritize your narrative of yourself and your struggle. Labels can help you gain access to care, but limit the imagination that is necessary for healing. I am trained in the following fields of therapeutic practice: Psychodynamic therapy, Collaborative Problem Solving, Motivational Interviewing, DBT, CBT, working with trauma, and working with suicide.
