For the past decade, I've focused on providing counseling to socially and economically under-served folks well as to marginalized populations due to immigration status, cultural/ethnic/gender identities, and cognitive/physical differences. I work in integrated community healthcare because of my commitment to help people in whatever way I could. My healing support focuses on trauma, adoption/attachment/couples/family issues, SUD/eating issues among others. Emphasis on cultural, ancestral, and nervous system diversity. Strong commitment to economic equity/justice. IFS-certified, trained family therapist, A.R.T. trained, clinical supervisor, (formerly) Certified in The Work of Byron Katie, Acudetox Specialist.
