Great to meet you!

I have been a therapist for a little over for 4years, and have 20 plus years of experience in providing services in the mental health field. I received my MA from Brandman University and utilize CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and other modalities to help reduce symptoms and foster change in unhealthy behaviors.

My approach to therapy

I foster a collaborative and challenging environment to explore without judgement, shame, or guilt. I can be direct, but it is balanced with understanding and humor. The main goal is to learn healthy coping skills to be self sufficient.

What you can expect from me

In our first session we will be gathering information, setting goals, and getting to know each other.
