About me
I love the moments in my work when my clients are able to relate to themselves and others with increased ease, compassion, and care.
I am a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner with an online and in person practice. I trained as a mediator and facilitator to support groups and communities in resolving their own issues. I began working with couples, families, and individuals wanting to do ongoing work and sought out additional training in IFS, Gestalt, and other approaches.
I am also a writer and activist who is committed to increasing solidarity and understanding between people.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
IFS: Internal Family SystemsRecommended for those who want to explore and heal the different parts of themselves that might feel conflicted or overwhelmed.
Narrative therapyRecommended for those who want to rewrite the way they view their life story and feel more empowered in their personal journey.
The first step in working with new clients is listening, reflection and building a secure container for the work. I use Internal Family Systems in combination with conflict coaching, Gestalt, harm reduction, trauma-informed counseling, narrative therapy. and participatory facilitation.
Experience
I have had a private practice for ten years, combining conflict resolution work with couples counseling and individual coaching. I previously worked in social work with homeless and street-involved youth, and survivors of labor and sex trafficking, where I learned to approach the most complicated human experiences with care and compassion.
