I believe that every person has the ability to heal and lead satisfying and fulfilling lives. Everyone does the best with what they have and when life presents significant challenges our reactions and behaviors often make sense in context. Problems do not exist within one person but are the result of a person’s family or relational systems, circular patterns, external systems, and learned behaviors that once had a functional purpose. I consider health to be the culmination of mental, physical, spiritual, and relational states, and I will work from this inclusive and holistic perspective. I work from a trauma-informed, integrated approach, utilizing the solution-focused and emotionally-focused models of therapy. My goal is to work collaboratively with clients toward their desired changes and growth. I do this from a strengths-based, positive reinforcement, and values-oriented perspective. It takes courage and strength to ask for help and deserves to be responded to with validation. We are all dealing with the complexities of life and the unique ways in which individual identities intersect with oppression and privilege, causing diverse presentations of distress. I want this space to foster openness and to be supportive and free of judgement.
