My goal is to walk alongside you on your journey and provide the support you need on the journey. There is no judgement based on diagnosis or background. One thing I bring is my non-judgmental honesty. I will not sugar coat things, I will speak in facts. I will challenge you to check your own assumptions so that you are able to keep yourself out of the cycle that comes from assuming. I also work with families from the same lens, helping the members challenge their assumptions.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, we take time to figure out what the goals are and make a plan to help you grow or improve.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am very skills based, and use DBT as one of my primary methods of ensuring that you have the skills to move forward in life and grow. If you are interested specifically in DBT skills your sessions will be focused on this. The goal is that you will be able to function well on your own.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have spent most of my clinician career working with those with severe mental illness diagnosis or requiring residential mental health treatment. For those transitioning from that setting it is hard to find a clinician and one of my goals is to be able to walk alongside those in transition from residential or intensive mental health treatment as they re-integrate back home.
