About

My career as a therapist has spanned more than 20 years and has allowed me to practice in multiple States and countries. I have had the privilege of working with people suffering from severe mental health difficulties, individuals in crisis, people in the criminal justice system, people suffering from addiction and dual diagnosis, first responders and people in higher education. Through these experiences and over time, I have had the opportunity to develop skills as a practitioner and select more specialized areas of clinical focus. I am a person who believes, “it is better to be a master of one trade than a jack of all”. The areas in which I focus on as a therapist are addiction, depression, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, self-esteem and severe a persistent mental illness. I have found that it is the exception rather than the rule that a person suffers from just one ailment and I am always prepared to work with individuals who are dealing with any number of issues.

Clinically, I tend to work from a Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) approach with strong elements of self-compassion (CFT) and strengths-based interventions. I have been trained in various other modalities including DBT, crisis intervention, suicide prevention, relapse prevention and motivational interviewing. I see my role as someone who helps you find the solutions you need and work towards the goals that you set. I look forward to welcoming you to Find A Therapist and working with you on the goals you have for yourself.
