About My Clients

I enjoy working with a diverse population and practice therapy with cultural humility. I am accustomed to working with the entire lifespan. I prefer working with adults. I have experience with treating depression, anxiety/panic disorders, trauma, sleep issues, adjustment disorders, divorce and family stressors, and mood disorders. I always take a curious and open minded stand point.

My Background and Approach

I enjoy using a variety of theoretical approaches and prefer to meet the needs and preferences of my clients. I have found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to be very effective, result-focused treatment models. I try to ensure that each of my clients leave the session feeling heard, understood and respected. I like to ask my clients for direct feedback about their experience in therapy and use this feedback to make adjustments in future sessions. I want my clients to feel confident that we are aligned on how we are approaching their concerns.
