Communication is key for mutual understanding. I prioritize active listening, collaboration, and shared decision-making with clients.
I use a variety of therapeutic methods to best align with your specific wants and needs. I empower you to learn how to manage and understand your mental health behaviors and/or symptomology through psychoeducation and psychotherapy.
Collaborating on a treatment plan that feels relevant and achievable is significant. Often, I use SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound—to provide structure and track progress.
My client focus is primarily adolescents-adults. I have experience working with veterans, professionals, marginalized folks, and parents navigating the needs of children with mental health struggles. I also work with incarcerated individuals.
I sought a deeper impact and pursued to social work. My experience spans diverse settings like addiction facilities, prisons, and VA hospitals.
I have a sociable, down-to-earth personality and offering encouraging therapy with humor and realism. I believe in using a biopsychosocial approach, which considers a person’s whole life, lived experiences, and more.
