Today, I see patients at bedside, in the home, and with patients transitioning to different phases in their life journey.

From a non-judgmental perspective, we're able to openly discuss your concerns and work together to find ways to improve overall function and improve your quality of life. Additionally, I offer FMLA evaluations.
Your first session with me will include a history of your past medical and psychiatric treatment. Then, we will focus on what brings you in for therapy. The first session may feel overwhelming. Much of the first visit is me trying to get a better grasp of understanding your history and your current situation. I ask many questions and may move through them quickly to pinpoint the issue. Afterwards, we discuss the general impression I've received, ensure that we're "on the same page" as to the history and then formulate a plan with a goal of making functional improvements in your psychosocial wellbeing and to build coping skills tailored to fit your unique situation.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I primarily provide care both during and after major life changes. I recognize the the feelings of loss. can I have in our lives and the need too process it to move forward in life. These losses are not always the traditional loss of another human, but also the grief of a diagnosis, the loss of a child, a severe diagnosis with an uncertain prognosis, changing schools, etc. Many of the concepts used in the human grief process can be modulated to fit the needs of the patient and it's our job together to find ways to express grief positively and move forward from a loss. I have worked in hospital, inpatient hospice, home hospice, and palliative care settings. Additionally, I have worked as a geriatric psychotherapist covering multiple nursing homes.
Strength-Based
I believe in identifying a clients needs and then looking inward at the patient to identify strengths which can help overcome difficult tasks and uncomfortable settings. I approach all patients with unconditional positive regard with a humanistic perspective.
Psychoeducation
I have a strong belief that education is an important piece of a positive therapeutic relationship. Education is meant to challenge negative internal narratives and help identify ways in which the skills learned in psychotherapy can be used in real life situations.
Existential
I work with clients who have recently had a major life change through existential psychotherapy. I lean on the works Erikson's psychosocial stages and help people to resolve internal conflicts.
