Understanding the background and qualifications of your therapist or coach is crucial. Here's a little about myself:

I am a mother of five young adult children, including one adopted child and one member of the LGBTQ+ community (shared with their permission). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate (LPC-A) as well as a Crisis Intervention Specialist (CIC-CSp) and a National Board Certified Life Coach (BCC).

With over two decades of experience, I have worked extensively in the non-profit and humanitarian aid sector specializing in crisis intervention and trauma recovery. I often work with least resourced communities around the globe.

My professional journey is dedicated to providing empathetic and trauma-informed care to individuals impacted by life crisis, conflict, and transition In addition to my expertise in trauma recovery, I am also an IFS-informed practitioner and consistently utilize evidence-based modalities in my counseling practice including TFACT (trauma focused ACT) and Narrative Exposure Therapy.

I integrate solution focused techniques for coaching as well as motivational interviewing and ACT.
