Individually tailored

Every client and every concern is unique. I want to get to know the unique you, so that we can work well together and I can use approaches that suit your specific needs.

Trauma Informed

I believe that trauma, whether it seems big or small to you, is at the root of most mental health difficulties. Instead of behavior or symptoms, I look at how and why your coping skills helped you survive in the past. Then we move forward together.

Evidence-Based

I use therapeutic approaches that are backed by research and experience, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy.

Collaborative

I'm not going to tell you what to do, nor am I just going to be a blank sounding board. I want us to work together and be partners in the therapeutic process. We will co-create goals and work toward them.

Experienced

I have provided therapeutic care in psychiatric hospitals, schools, universities, community-based settings for both mental health and substance use, emergency rooms, and private practice. All of those experiences have helped shape how I work today.

Holistic

I believe that our thoughts, feelings, bodies, and spirits are all intricately connected. I will ask you to pay attention to your whole self, and will offer support and collaboration for you to do that.
