As an agent for change, transforming the stigma of therapy is very important to me. I bring years of personal and professional experience to counseling. I have experienced people from many diverse backgrounds, cultures, and belief systems. My approach to counseling, using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) recognizes and respects the uniqueness of every individual I work with, within a safe, non-judgmental environment. My goal is to have the client be better than they were yesterday, for themselves, their families, and their community in discussing anxiety, depression, or the stressors of life, whatever that looks like.

Our first session is a period for getting to know each other, discussing symptoms and history. Future visits will be more therapeutic in nature, focusing on specific symptoms or problems. I will discuss the session's purpose, confidentiality, legal exceptions, and goal setting.
