As a therapist in private practice since 2017, I focus on working with clients experiencing issues related to anxiety, depression, substance abuse and relationship challenges. I have a background in addictions counseling and attended my Masters program at Appalachian State University.
I engage in therapy from a mindfulness-based approach, which includes modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). I focus on understanding the goals of my clients and working with them to incorporate acceptance of themselves.
My hope is to illicit observations and awareness of intrapersonal patterns to create a deeper understanding of oneself, and apply these realizations to life behaviors. My clients who experience this report being able to recognize patterns within themselves, and intervene sooner to prevent challenges as well as enhance their lives.
