With over 20 years as an RN and an MPH background, plus 10+ years as a Social Worker/Psychotherapist, I’ve worked extensively in healthcare systems supporting individuals aged 6-80 with diverse mental health needs. My nursing background informs my holistic psychotherapy approach, focusing on mind-body connections and overall wellness.
My approach to therapy is holistic, integrating elements of evidence-based approaches (CBT, DBT, ACT, SFBT, SBT, IPT). I focus on the mind-body connection, exploring how physical and emotional experiences intersect. Together, we’ll work to understand your unique needs and goals, cultivating self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful change.
Welcome. Starting therapy is a significant step, and knowing what to expect can help. In our sessions, you can expect me to be a dedicated, empathetic partner. We’ll create a safe, confidential space to explore your challenges and strengths. Therapy’s collaborative—we’ll set goals together, using evidence-based approaches tailored to you. You can expect authenticity, respect for your identity/values, and transparency about our process. I’ll encourage your active participation—your engagement drives change. We’ll start with scheduling and goals, working at a pace that feels right. My goal? Help you become your own supportive guide long after sessions end.
