Great to meet you!

Clients compliment my teaching style over a directive approach. The relationship b/w feelings, thoughts & behaviors is crucial to understanding issues affecting life & relationship success. I use strategies during session to make sense of your world & provide b/w session exercises. While education & experience is important; I have immense personal “lived experience” with familial chronic physical & mental illness. My passion is holistic therapy; Integrating all aspects of your life & recovery.

My approach to therapy

Early in my career my orientation was based in Rogerian Psychology (Person Centered) utilizing CBT, Psychoanalytic & Reality Therapy. As I developed professionally this expanded to include Existentialism, Experiential Learning, Integrational & Multicultural theories.

What you can expect from me

YOUR goals will dictate your treatment plan. Your treatment plan will unfold into therapeutic goals & objective. We will work toward those in & outside of sessions.
