I approach therapy from a humanistic, person-centered perspective. Your work is your own, we are going to move through it together with the process being individualized to your needs. I know that the therapy process is not linear and often moves in fits and starts just like many things in life. However, I am completely dedicated to following along to assure you get where you want to go. 

I consider myself a jack of all hobbies and master of none, which means I totally understand that focuses can change but that doesn’t mean have given up on them. I really enjoy kayaking, camping, crafting, traveling abroad and attempting to keep my houseplants alive (low key, I also have piglets which are adorable). When I say I understand the pull to many things, I mean it. Also, I find it brings a fun and sometimes very insightful tone to our work together. I also want to hear all about the things you are interested in trying and doing, therapy comes in many forms including exploring new interests. 

I am a quirky therapist to work with, I will challenge you but only when you are in the place to be faced with the challenge. I have experience Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approaches in addition to the use of creative arts, experiential methods, and traditional talk therapy.  I have experience working with adolescents and young adults with a passion working with LGBTQIA+ folx. My work experience includes working at a residential school, a boarding school in Rio Dulce Guatemala, and community outpatient mental health. 

**I do speak Spanish but do not feel as if I possess the skills to do therapy in Spanish. If communication with stakeholders in Spanish is necessary, I am happy to do that.
