Great to meet you!

I get results using evidence-based techniques combined with over 25 years of experience as a clinician to help people identify and achieve their goals. In pursuit of those techniques, I have completed additional training in Behavioral Health Consulting and hold certifications in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and biofeedback.

Focus areas: depressed mood; anxiety, relationships, communication, and boundary issues; substance misuse; long-term pain and chronic health issues; and stress.

My approach to therapy

I have deep compassion for anyone who is trying to self-manage emotional and physical pain and realize that seeking help is truly a courageous first step.

My style is to work collaboratively with you to set goals and define measurable steps to increase success and achieve a healthier life, whatever that looks like to you.

What you can expect from me

Goal setting and tasks to be completed between sessions. I use worksheets, readings, videos, and exercises to facilitate each person's learning of new skills
