About My Clients

I’m passionate about helping couples and families with substance misuse, conflict resolution, intimacy, and communication. I also support individuals facing identity development, substance use, women’s issues, trauma, and grief. Additionally, I work with those impacted by the criminal justice system and support partners or loved ones of people with substance use challenges.

My Background and Approach

I take a body-first approach in my work with clients to ensure that they have the tools they will benefit from on their healing journeys: their own mind, body, and spirit. I center my approach around principles of community wellness, anti-imperialism, and anti-racist practices. I seek to give voice to the wounds that these systems of harm have caused while recognizing the privileges I hold in these systems. We all experience deep pain, barriers, and roadblocks that we never asked for but are stuck with. My intention is to tap into the strength and capability that you already possess to create and cultivate the joy and peace you deserve. You already possess the tools and capacity for healing, but wounds often obscure these. My degree in Forensic Mental Health Leadership allows me to provide specialized guidance in supporting individuals or families as they navigate the legal system's complexities. I have training and knowledge in restorative and transformative justice practices.
