We learn, develop meaning and create a sense of purpose through each other and the relationships we form. In the same spirit I believe the therapeutic process is driven by the relationship formed between the client and the therapist. This is why my approach in therapy is guided by creating an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you feel safe and empowered to work toward personal growth and creating lasting change.
I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years with experience across a diverse range of settings with children, teens, adults, families, & couples. This includes community mental health, outpatient, residential, wilderness therapy after care, foster care, county mental health, juvenile hall, schools, substance use, & crisis intervention.
I take an integrative & depth-oriented approach, combining insight driven processes with skill based & practical solutions. I am collaborative & strength-based, developing methods to identify root causes of issues rather than targeting just symptoms. I am systems oriented, looking at the role of the environment (family/home, school, primary attachments).

I am systems oriented, looking at the role of the environment (family/home, school, primary attachments) not just the individual. I am emotion-focused with a trauma-informed, attachment framework through modalities that include Parent-Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT) and Emotionally Focused Couples/Family Therapy (EFT). When needed skill based orientations (ACT, DBT, CBT) are useful.
