Specialties & Expertise
Highly Sensitive
Maybe people tell you you're too sensitive or you're "too much." Sometimes reactions to trauma or grief can get similar reactions, people telling you to "get over it." We can work together to grow your natural strength and resilience.
Living "outside the box"
Many of us walk to "the beat of a different drummer." It can help to have someone in
your corner, supporting you living
the life you feel called to live.
Addictions
You're seeking support to re-establish healthy habits or dedicating yourself to live sober for the first time. Compassionate relationships help heal and make lasting changes possible.
Disabilities
We all have strengths and challenges. I have years of experience supporting people with disabilities like intellectual and developmental disabilities, Autism or Asperbers and traumatic brain injuries, to empower and optimize your participation in your life.
The Hakomi Method
The Hakomi Method is a form of
mindfulness that works with your whole system,
mind and body, gently at your own pace.

Stories & Personal Myth
The stories we use to explain our experiences are often shaped by our society, giving some privilege while disenfranchising others. We can explore different perspectives, emphasizing strengths that can propel you toward the life you want.

Supervision
Supervision is an exciting time in our career as Social Workers, giving us an opportunity to apply what we’ve learned and dive deep into many aspects of the awesome work we do!
The Supervision Team
We'd make a good supervision team if you--
- are planning to work in mental health or develop a private practice
- plan to work with teens or adults
- want to work relationally and develop therapeutic tools that may include mindfulness, narrative, short-term or crisis therapy
- have a drive to empower your clients regardless of any differences
Clinical Experience
I have experience working in several settings including community mental health clinics (both private and public), behavioral health hospitals, ICF-IID and private practice. I'm a graduate of training in The Hakomi Method, a form of somatic psychotherapy. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups that are teens or older, supporting their processing and healing of grief and loss, trauma, addictions, coping with being highly sensitive or having any differences including neurological differences and disabilities. Also support personal and spiritual growth and natural evolution.
