About My Clients

People I serve often experience issues with: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorder, dual diagnosis mental health and substance use, personality disorders, grief and loss, life stressors and changes, traumatic events, as well as suicidal thoughts, despair, and self-injury.

My Background and Approach

I approach therapy through a recovery mindset with the belief that people who are experiencing mental health, substance abuse, and other life challenges can and do live full and fulfilling lives. I bring this into the therapy session with every individual I meet; honoring the person’s right to autonomy and providing non-judgmental and compassionate care. With over 20 years experience in the mental health field, my practice is focused on adult clients aged 18+ who are experiencing a variety of mental health and life challenges. My practice is based on a trauma informed approach and I utilize the following therapeutic modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Mindful Self-Compassion, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My therapy space RESPECTS all people including race, ethnicity, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, age, religion, body shape, size, and ability.
