Who typically works with me?

I am currently providing tele-therapy services to residents of CA, TX, OH and VT.  While I have worked with children, individuals, and families in various settings for a greater part of my life, I therapeutically vibe well with neurodiverse folks in transitional stages of their life.  A majority of my therapy clients identify as Neurodivergent and/or Queer, many are 18-40. I practice with an up from below philosophy rather than a top down framework. This is a developmental, ecological, and neuro-affirming approach that is inclusive of your unique inner-terrain and the places you occupy.

My Relational and Growth-Centered approach is primarily rooted in Social-Ecology, Liberation Psychology, Emergent Strategy, Family Systems, Compassion-Focused care, eco-therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Into my CBT foundation, and from DBT, I integrate a variety of Depth and Somatic  practices with evidence-based mindfulness interventions to support the growth and well-being of my clients. Eco-therapy empowers us to look at our relationship with self, the places, people and things, and nature beings in your environment. Understanding how you are in relation to yourself and those around us, helps us mindfully navigate through the world.

eco-therapy: Built upon a foundation of living systems and ecology, my delivery of eco-therapy includes an eco-analysis to map your inner and outer world, your relationship with each intersection, and your relationship to place and the living beings around you.

 

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California (LMFT #120058) and in good standing with the Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) and an active member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT).  I am also licensed in Texas (LMFT # 205096) Ohio (LMFT# F.2500511), and licensed for telehealth in Vermont (LMFT # 100.0134336TELE).
