I have worked in the mental health field for approximately 17 years and have worn many hats. I've served as a therapist, patient placement specialist, senior therapist, clinical director, and executive director in Residential, Outpatient, and Criminal Justice settings. This range of experience helps me understand complex systems and support clients in many different stages of life.
My approach to therapy is eclectic, individualized, and warm. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused therapy, Existential therapy, Gestalt, Emotionally Focused therapy, and Narrative therapy, all through a trauma informed lens. Together, we will find what fits you best.
In our first session, my focus is on attentiveness, collaboration, and building rapport so you feel heard and understood. I will ask thoughtful, thorough questions as we explore your history, current concerns, and hopes for therapy. From there, we will create a clear assessment and treatment plan together so the path forward feels organized, progressive, and manageable.
