work with individuals (adolescents to older adults), couples and families who are struggling with relationships, healthy communication, isolation, anxiety, depression, identity, aging, life transitions, illness, the effects of recent or past trauma, and complex trauma. I am also passionate about adoption-related therapy for adults, adolescents and families who are exploring the impacts of adoption or are considering a search for birth family members. I am myself an adoptee and offer a unique lens into related trauma, much-needed support, and understanding. My goal is to support all clients with hope, genuine care, and cultural and gender attunement, and I welcome humor when it comes up naturally. We will prioritize your safety in session, so you can feel free to explore and hopeful about achieving a fulfilling, open-hearted healing process. We will also focus on illuminating your innate strengths and encourage lifelong resources.
