Services
Teens and Young Adults
Working with young people is one of my great joys. I work with young people from all backgrounds who are dealing with a wide range of issues. Trauma, abuse, family transitions, and behavioral or relational challenges are all areas I can help you work through. I strive to gain trust and respect with young people and their families in order to help them grow and heal.
Adults
Life is full of complex challenges and opportunities. I help people identify areas of growth by providing a safe and supportive space to process what’s going on in their lives. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion, and Somatic Work, I can provide you with the tools you need to create healthy and lasting changes in your life.
Families
Families are a complex and wonderful gift. My work with families aims to provide a safe and respectful space that ensures everyone is heard and valued. By paying close attention to family dynamics, we can identify patterns of behavior that may be at the root of family challenges.
LGBTQ+
I have extensive experience in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, and have supported clients on their journey through finding and affirming their gender identity. I also work with families to navigate the transition of individual’s gender identity, and connect family members with resources to process their loved one’s identity.
Neurodiversity
I have years of experience in working with autistic children and adults, people with ADHD, and people with Sensory Processing Disorders. I provide clients with skills to manage intense emotions, find ways of self-soothing, and manage triggers to develop independent, rewarding lives. I am certified in AutPlay Therapy for autistic children and teens.
Mindfulness
I have been practicing mindfulness since 2012, and have found the practice to have profound impacts on mindset, perception, and action. The benefits of mindfulness include reduction in anxiety, stress, and levels of depression. Both cognitive therapy and mindfulness practices have also shown to improve overall mood and give people a greater ability to handle life’s challenges. I am provisionally certified in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) through the University of California San Diego’s Mindfulness-Based Professional Training Institute, and use MBCT and Mindful Self-Compassion in my work.
