"Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness.  It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift." ~Mary Oliver

I have been working with children and families for 10 years.  I grew up in a blended, multi-cultural family with a chronically ill parent, so I understand from personal experience how challenging family dynamics can affect your life even after you're living on your own.  

I specialize in working with people with chronic illness, LGBTQ and gender-nonconforming folks, and families and children who have experienced trauma.  I enjoy using non-traditional tools such as body-based mindfulness, art therapy, and sand tray in sessions.  

My approach to therapy, no matter the age of my client, is playful, warm, and humorous.  With over 8 years of mindfulness and meditative experience, I utilize somatic and body based techniques to help bring clients back into their bodies to track feelings and sensations.  My work is relational and attachment based, meaning I focus on the relationship we build together and also the positive relationships you want to build in your life.
