She sees her role as a supportive scaffold, which stands strong to enable her clients to embrace the vulnerability needed to heal both personally and within their relationships.

In therapy she focuses on issues of existence, including growth towards self-awareness and self-acceptance, and meaningful behavioral change. She enjoys working with individuals, especially those facing trauma and life transition, couples, those in poly relationships, and the LGBTQ2S* community.
