I bring a warm and grounded presence to my counseling practice, with a client-centered and attachment-focused orientation. I am honored to support my clients through places of transition and transformation in their lives. I draw upon elements of interpersonal neurobiology, mindfulness, and psychodynamic theory, using a wide variety of therapeutic techniques in my work with adolescents and adults. My practice has a particular focus on relational health, including issues arising in parenting, intimacy and partnership. I am bilingual English/Spanish, and creates affirming space for LGBTQIA+ clients.
I have worked with clients in a diversity of settings, developing a passion for supporting women and families. I have many years of combined experience in school-based mental health, mobile crisis response, and substance abuse treatment, and have pursued advanced training in trauma-informed care.
