I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families impacted by complex trauma, family sexual abuse, grief and loss, adoption, foster care, and special needs. I am also experienced in interracial/intercultural situations and issues of gender identity.

I bring heart and caring to my practice. I have seen change and healing regardless of how stuck or trapped a person may feel as a result of the challenges/traumas of their life journey.
