PHILOSOPHY

I believe that people are doing the best they can at any given moment. Often, our past life experiences as well as physical, psychological, social, and systemic factors impact our behaviors in ways that can be both helpful and unhelpful in our lives. Healing happens in relationship, and I am committed to creating a safe, supportive and collaborative environment in which clients’ can be their most authentic selves and move towards their mental wellness goals. I am queer-affirming and make every effort to create an inclusive environment for people from all walks of life. I enjoy working with individuals and families across the lifespan, with a special interest in supporting children, adolescents and young adults. I am a life-long learner, which includes my own anti-oppression work and focus on evidence-based individualized care. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of others’ lives and support them in their pursuit of growth, learning and transformation.

BIO

I am a mom to a sweet, snuggly toddler and distinguished older dog. When not in clinic,you’ll find me biking, hiking or splashing in a river with my kiddo and partner, cookingand/or eating something delicious, and - if I’m really lucky - ending the day curled up witha good book and great music.
