Contemplating any change can be daunting, but here you are, reaching out, exploring. Seeing a therapist can be the first step along a new path. Change takes time, and we can go at your pace, walking together on a path you determine. Whether you are looking at a life transition, worried about how substance use is affecting you, grieving a loss or dealing with a chronic illness, together we will begin the process of examining where you are, working together to shift to a place that brings you fulfillment and to help you reach your goals.
I use a client centered approach, operating in the Harm Reduction model. I utilize techniques from a variety of theoretical frameworks including narrative, motivational interviewing, EFT and CBT. I have 25 years of experience working in mental health, grief and loss, substance use disorder, chronic illness, hospice and HIV/AIDS. I am an LGBTQ ally.
I offer a warm and collaborate space for clients. I encourage laughter with clients and in my own life journey. I have a wild garden full of local volunteer plants. I have a passion for all things creative and get way more excited about my kid’s science fair projects than they do. I want to hear your story.
