Centered on You

I work using a trauma-informed, strengths-based, person-centered approach to support each person and their family to improve their sense of well-being within the context of their environment and culture.

Connection

I find that connection and focused attention are some of the most valuable and needed gifts people can give each other and I am honored to be able to give mine to help people feel seen, heard, and valued.

Who I Work With

My work has been with youth ages 0 to 25, adults, people in crisis, grief, neurodivergence, emotional regulation, and more. I work at a clinic, in the community, and remotely by video and phone.

Philosophies and Frameworks

These keywords inform the way I think and lead down some excellent rabbit holes: humanistic, person-centered, existentialism, trauma-informed, cultural humility, non-directive, mindfulness, experiential, suicide prevention, expressive arts, family systems, neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ ally, liberation, collaborative, interdependent, radical self-acceptance
