Therapy style

I have worked in a variety of settings and with humans of all ages and stages. My approach has been described as warm, collaborative, compassionate, and direct when needed. As both a therapist and a person who has received therapy, I do not hide my humanity from my clients. I value being a "human in the room" with my clients, striving to balance acceptance and change while working together to find solutions and cope with life's many challenges. I have trained in various therapeutic modalities and blended these skills to respond to the needs of each client.

Interests

I love caring for my 35+ houseplants and native perennial pollinator garden. I also love to run and hike, especially when the wildflowers are out. I love salsa and bachata dancing with friends. I enjoy eating delicious food and spending time with close friends, family, and my partner.
