High satisfaction rate with clients

Nice to meet you

I'm passionate about helping young adults and parents build on their strengths. I provide trauma-informed care that emphasizes safety, empowerment, and collaboration. My approach ensures clients feel informed, have space to ask questions, and maintain choice throughout the process. Together, we’ll explore how thoughts, feelings, and actions are experienced in the body, in relationships, and in community. My work is creative—drawing from art, music, and nature—culturally responsive, and tailored to each individual.
