My counseling style is rooted in a client-centered, empathic, humanistic, non-judgmental point of view. I am an ally of the LGBTQ+ community and I believe, strongly, in the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and that every person has the ability within themselves to not only enact change, but be their very own change agent. I have 15 years experience in the behavioral health field ranging from Community Mental Health Centers to Managed Care to private practice, where I have been the past 5 years.
Depending on the client, my clinical approaches are as follows: Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
Being able to recognize our own strengths and how we have used those strengths to succeed in the past, can be a useful tool in reducing acute symptoms of anxiety, depression, and many other mental health concerns. Long-term, I work with clients in hopes of building the confidence and skill set to move forward knowing that they are more than capable of managing anything that life throws your way.
