Therapy and counseling
I support humans working to develop of emotionally healthy and inspired lives. For over 20 years, my focus has been supporting humans as they improve their social and emotional skills, relationships, and self-image. Working with people in recovery from childhood or more recent relational wounds; life transitions; and family of origin issues are my strong suits.
My professional experience includes:
individual and family counseling
advocacy
crisis management
case management
outreach, training
staff supervision.
Primarily, my work is with people over age 18. I have experience supporting people affected by child welfare and correctional institutions. I affirm people from all walks of life and identities. I do not see couples. Family members are welcome to attend in support of individual clients. My practice is limited, ensuring the provision of personalized care in a confidential manner.

Some definitions
Trauma-Informed
Trauma-Informed therapy acknowledges the impact of trauma in our daily life. Therefore, trauma therapy cares for all of you: The physical, psychological, and emotional.
Holding safe space
Holding space is about being with others without judgment. It requires my authenticity, and ability to let go of my own beliefs to really hold space for your truth. It is a humanistic concept related to the basic acceptance and support of a person regardless of what the person says or does. The safe space creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment.
Mindfulness
The state in which we become aware of our physical, mental, and emotional condition in the present moment, without becoming judgmental. Mindfulness practices are believed to be able to help people better control their thoughts, rather than be controlled by them.
Meet you where you're at
This isn't about me, and what I want for you. It's about what you want for you. I remove my expectations so I can meet you in the real moment - be it joy or despair.
Harm reduction
Practical strategies aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with self-destructive behaviors.
