I have 10+ years’ experience offering direct clinical services to all ages in numerous outpatient settings. My professional work centers around connection, pragmatism, and well-being. My goal is always to help you be self-sufficient as quickly as possible in managing your mental health.
I have also worked as an administrator, consultant, grant writer, and supervisor. I’ve largely focused on improving patient experiences and implementing trauma-informed care.
Our work will always start with forming a real, trusting relationship. Our work may include exploring how you anticipate and react to the world around you, understanding and taking charge of your mind and emotions, and learning how to make the most out of your tendencies and strengths.
I am trained to incorporate psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, acceptance-based, and mindfulness-based therapies. I am qualified to treat most common mental health concerns, stress concerns, and trauma.
I help foster insight, self-acceptance, and self-care. I help clients work with whatever resources they have, to connect (or reconnect) to things they find most meaningful in life. This also includes coping with the inevitable risks and setbacks of living a full life. I rely on authenticity, intuition, humor, and compassion as primary tools for connection and change. Therapy will be about both reducing symptoms and increasing your ability to do the things that make your life worth living.
