About

I work with my clients eclectically utilizing a Client-Centered approach always. I have been actively engaged in psychotherapy since 2006. Active listening is a primary aspect of my therapeutic facilitation. I am treatment focused in my client's best interest, and I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, and early to middle adolescent males and females. I have worked with youth struggling with early psychosis (hearing voices, paranoia, etc.); adults struggling with Co-Occurring Disorders (psychiatric issues, i.e., depression, anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder compounded with illegal substance abuse). My therapeutic approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, Solution Focused Therapy, and Family Focused Therapy, to mention a few. I always include humor as well.
