" Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue inherent in the state of being alive. If life is to be sustained hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired."

Holistic, Collaborative, Honest, Compassionate
What kind of clients do you see?
I enjoy working with people who want a collaborative environment in the therapy room. I serve as your ally, confidant, and advocate. I'm frequently given the feedback that my humor, validation, and compassionate feedback are helpful in the therapeutic process to create change and motivation for emotional balance.
What kind of therapy do you do?
I primarily utilize methodologies such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Therapies, mindfulness-based exercises, and Internal Family Systems. I believe that a holistic, educational, and nonjudgmental approach to mental health care is vital. I think it is very common that problems exist in a cyclical pattern of cause and effect. This means the body can affect the mind and vise-versa in a long-term pattern. I believe in making changes in this pattern slowly while addressing any blame, judgement, shame, and any other barriers that might arise along the way.
