Let’s start with an open and honest conversation about what you’re looking for. You’ll also have the chance to ask me any questions about my professional background, training, and experience, as well as how we can work together to help you function more effectively in your daily life.
I have extensive experience working with mood, thought, and stress-related disorders, including anxiety, depression, trauma, paranoid delusions, and related conditions.
For over a decade, I’ve supported clients across a variety of settings, including psychiatric emergency, acute, inpatient, outpatient, substance use, short-term and long-term care, as well as juvenile, adult, and correctional facilities. I look forward to meeting you!

I start with a set of assessment questions and I do so in a relaxed, conversational manner. The idea is to learn from my client what is happening currently in their life, their illness history, what diagnoses and treatments they've had in the past, what medications helped, their goals and ultimately their readiness to participate actively in their own care-planning.

Thoughts have strong influence over behavior. This statement is at the core of CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I start by asking specific questions about my clients' experiences, the reason they're seeking care, where they are in their wellness journey, their goals, hopes and expectations.
