I am a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience helping adults from diverse backgrounds. My core values are kindness and open mindedness, they serve as a guide for my gentle, supportive and holistic therapeutic style. I work with clients to develop an understanding of their strengths and their struggles in the context of their life experiences and oppressive systems. I often use DBT, Family Systems Therapy and mindful self compassion in my work to help individuals improve healthy coping skills, build rewarding and meaningful relationships and reduce negative self-perceptions. I enjoy working as part of an integrated team where we can ensure individuals have access to medical care and practical support in addition to mental health care.
Outside of work I enjoy cultivating and caring for a wide variety of plants (especially trees), knitting, and spending time with my partner, three children and four pets.
