I'm a strength-based, relational, and narrative therapist who approaches this work with gratitude and respect. I admire your courage it takes to seek change and growth. I'm committed to walking alongside you as you identify and pursue your personal goals. It's a privilege to get to know each of you, and I value the opportunity to collaborate in your healing and development.
My clinical approach is collaborative, client-centered, and practical. I draw from a range of holistic treatment and evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic and mindfulness-based strategies. My advanced training includes Mood Disorders, Grief and Loss, Severe and Persistent Mental Illnesses, Personality Disorders, and Substance Use Disorders.
I've had the honor of working with people across all stages of life, in a variety of diverse settings including urban and rural communities, hospitals, nursing homes, and home-based environments. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where meaningful change and lasting growth can take place. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
