About

I enjoy working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, substance-use issues, behavioral issues and difficulty adjusting to various life circumstances. My training includes working with clients and families to create awareness about mental health factors, healthy family dynamics, and developing effective communication styles that promote connection and understanding.

Clinical Approach:

Helping clients on the path of self-exploration and personal growth takes time and understanding. Building a therapeutic alliance shapes the course for therapy and reveals the client's ultimate goals. I use various clinical approaches during therapy, depending on the needs and goals of each client on their journey toward wellness. I enjoy combining a client-centered approach with solution-focused strategies when partnering with clients. This foundation provides direction for therapeutic goals and allows creative collaboration to achieve them.

Approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) often find their way into each session. Providing psychoeducation and creating self-awareness with clients is a fundamental cornerstone of my therapeutic approach as well.

Hobbies:

My personal hobbies include playing golf, reading, and photography.
