Experience and Education

Here, you can learn more about my training. Check out “My Approach” on my home page to hear more.

Over my years of training, I’ve been fortunate to work with individuals of all ages, who come from diverse backgrounds and life circumstances. I respect and value all gender identities and sexual orientations, all racial and ethnic identities, and strive to be accessible to people across the economic spectrum.
