Treatment areas include exploration of Shame, Self-Esteem, Self-Compassion, Trauma, PTSD, Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Issues, Shyness, Phobias, Grief and Loss, Boundaries, & Interpersonal Issues. I work well with men and women who want to find more joy while increasing mood stability, curiosity, & deeper connections. My philosophy incorporates an egalitarian, collaborative approach steeped in a belief that clients are the experts on themselves.
Doctorate and Master's level clinician with 25+ years of experience. Trained in CBT, Narrative Therapy, DBT/RO-DBT, Solution-Focused, Interpersonal, ACT, MI, EMDR, Trauma, and Relational therapies. Certified mediator with a Master’s in Conflict Management & Resolution. I provide psychotherapy, coaching, supervision, and full-time graduate-level instruction.
I am a staunch believer in client-centered psychotherapy & I often use humor in treatment as a therapy tool, weaving in a non-judgmental, supportive, optimistic approach. I aim to co-create a safe environment where clients feel validated and supported, allowing patterns and feelings to avail themselves. I often bring current research knowledge into session.
