For 20 years, I have been helping clients build upon strengths and face challenges to achieve their goals of therapy.

Mindfulness and other coping techniques are incorporated to help address emotional suffering and to help tolerate environmental stressors to create a more balanced, tolerable life.

I am a licensed psychologist with a background in community mental health and university counseling practicing privately since 2011. I take a holistic approach to therapeutic work, using the context of culture, personal development, and multiple dimensions of identity. I also specialize in evidence-based therapies including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), behavioral activation for depression, radically open dbt (RODBT) for issues of over-control, and prolonged exposure for PTSD. I am board certified as a DBT therapist through the Linehan Institute and infuse elements of DBT like mindfulness practice into my general work.

As a counselor, it is my role to help individuals explore their life transitions and challenges and to promote self care techniques as they move through this process. I have worked with individuals and families in a variety of settings for more than 30 years using various treatment models that promote individual strengths.

As a clinical psychologist, I have been supporting youth, adults, and families in improving their mental health and daily functioning for over 10 years. My therapeutic approach incorporates evidence-based therapies along with your input to guide sessions and interventions. Our sessions will center on exploring your thoughts and behavioral patterns, identifying and communicating feelings and working toward developing healthy perspectives, coping strategies and strengths for improved functioning.

My personal theoretical foundation is not limited to one approach. I believe it is necessary for counselors to be adaptive. Every client is different and our responses and approaches should be equally diverse. One person may need a cognitive behavioral approach whereas another would be more responsive to brief counseling. This eclectic approach will be applied to all clients. Techniques will vary between clients to best meet the individual client's needs.

Therapy can be a great tool utilized to gain an outside perspective and possible new insights to the issues you are focused on resolving. Life is complicated and complex. It can be a great benefit to have someone that you can explore your thoughts with, without the worry of bias. Therapy can look very different for each person or couple and can be set up in a way that makes the patient feel comfortable. My goal is to create a comfortable atmosphere in which everyone can feel at ease exploring their goals and how their actions are helping or stopping progress. Goals may be related to an emotion, a difficult situation or other areas.
