About
I have worked with clients ranging in age from pre-teen to late adulthood and have gained experience treating depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, specific phobias, and trauma. I have served on integrative teams for parents and children in CPS cases as well as on collaborative teams providing treatment for clients residing in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with service members and Veterans, victims of sexual assault, and individuals who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, including transgender clients seeking gender reassignment surgeries.
I take an integrated approach to psychotherapy, incorporating aspects of CBT, MBCT, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and a variety of other treatment modalities. I feel that clients benefit most from unique, individually tailored treatment plans. In couples therapy, I embrace the Gottman method and incorporate an attachment-based, emotionally focused approach.
I truly have a heart to serve, a passion for people, and the genuine desire to help them to feel better. Schedule an initial session where, together, we can determine explore a potential therapeutic relationship and/or discuss appropriate referrals.
