I have been in the field of psychotherapy for over 20 years working in a variety of settings and levels of care. I have learned a lot along the way and incorporate a variety of approaches into therapy that are tailored for each client. I specialize working with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and trauma.
I have a multidisciplinary approach, pulling from coping skill based practices (DBT, mindfulness), thought pattern reframing (CBT), somatic therapy (Somatic Experiencing and dance/movement therapy), and how creativity and creative expression can aide in treatment.
My focus is to provide clients with useable tools to manage symptoms and distress in their day to day life. I like to explore how our past experiences are impacting our present moment versus reliving the past. I am not a 'one size fits most' type of therapist and put great care and thought into each individual client's needs. Other clients have described me as humorous, relatable, creative, and welcoming.
