21 years of experience

I provide more than talk therapy & integrate a clinical approach grounded in research on neuroscience and psychology. I have 21-plus years of post-licensure experience and a demonstrated history of providing comprehensive clinical expertise in addition to supervising and training other therapists as a clinical supervisor. My educational and career development opportunities were significantly enriched through clinical supervision with a psychiatrist, which provided invaluable insights into diagnostic frameworks, and effective treatment interventions. Additionally, my work alongside multidisciplinary clinical treatment teams at various psychiatric hospitals has enhanced my understanding of holistic mental health care, and deepened my skills in managing complex cases, contributing to patient assessments, and coordinating effective interventions across diverse treatment settings.

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

An integral part of the therapeutic relationship involves honoring and respecting the strength and courage it takes to reach out for help. It should always be considered an honor and privilege when someone shares a part of themselves with us. You should expect to feel heard, understood, connected, and more hopeful about the possibilities that lay ahead for living your best life & functioning at your full capacity in your valued roles and relationships.

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

My clients experience the benefit of comprehensive clinical expertise & my commitment to the values of best practice, evidence-based practice, & excellence in standards of care. Evidenced-based neurobiological interventions promote emotional regulation, resilience, growth & the creation of new neural pathways that can last a lifetime.

My treatment methods

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I implement mindfulness techniques to help my clients cultivate self-compassion, curiosity and interest vs self-critcism and self judgment.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is an evidenced-based practice and frontline treatment modality that helps individuals identify and challenge negative thoughts, distortions and core beliefs that exacerbate symptoms of anxiety and depression and other disorders.

Trauma Informed Care

I operate from a holistic framework in helping individuals to heal from trauma and integrate evidenced-based practices such as CPT, EMDR, the Emotional Freedom Technique, Somatic therapy, and Mindfulness-based practices.
