(she/her)
Hello! My background ranges from community mental health to most recently veterans' metal health. I enjoy meeting with clients from all backgrounds and walks of life. I have been practicing at the clinician level for the last 9 years. I love being a therapeutic support to those in need. I like to take a direct approach initially, assist you in defining the most pressing matter so that we can improve your quality of life as soon as possible.
I like to get to know you and what story led you here, to today. I would like to learn about the issues impacting your day to day so that we have a great place to start.
I think that I relate really well to most people. My background and work experience has allowed me to connect with those of all ages, races, and lifestyles. I truly treat every person I meet with the same dignity and respect that I would want to be treated with.
An ideal client is one with an open mind and willingness to collaborate with me so that together we can have a productive and meaningful therapeutic relationship.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I find this is a great starting point to therapy. CBT helps individuals manage and overcome mental health challenges by addressing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their distress.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I believe that understanding one’s emotions if a great tool for understanding how to improve the way they manage many factors impacting their mental health.
