ABOUT ME
EXPERIENCE
I have conducted individual, family, and group therapy with adults, adolescents, and children at private practices, veteran’s hospitals, in- and out-patient psychiatric hospitals, schools, jails, prisons and university clinics. Adopting a holistic approach toward wellness, I integrate a developmental perspective with techniques from CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, ACT, MI, CPT, and PE to address the symptoms and goals of my clients.
GOALS
While my curiosity about the human experience initially motivated me to pursue psychology, my clients continuously inspire me with their courage to change their lives. My goal as a psychologist is to help my clients develop and strengthen their coping skills to make this change possible. To assist my clients’ growth, I use a compassionate collaborative approach utilizing responsivity, flexibility, and humility.
