I tailor my approach to the needs and goals of the person, couple, or family with whom I am working, and what is effective and helpful for my clients. I am an EMDR-trained therapist and draw upon different ways of understanding human reactions and overcoming hardships including relational, psychoanalytic, narrative, cognitive behavioral, and systems perspectives.

I have a background in oral history, and I believe the narratives we are told, internalize, and pass on to others shape our lives profoundly and what is possible in the present and future. I strive to center my practice within anti-oppressive, harm reduction, and restorative justice frameworks to prevent further harm, get at the roots of problems, and resolve or mitigate them in healing, sustainable ways.
