About My Clients

After several years working with an incredibly diverse population, I've learned a great deal about my clients. I've learned that every single client I've worked with has strengths to draw upon and that their problems don't define them. I've been honored to help each of my clients reach their goals or feel relief.

My Background and Approach

I feel like the luckiest person because I’ve been trained in evidence based treatments (EBT) that really help people. EBTs are interventions that have been tested and proven to be effective while still honoring clients’ preferences, needs, cultures, and values. Clients report rapid, lasting relief. Here are the approaches I specialize in to help children, adolescents, and adults: Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a short-term, specialized behavior management program designed for young children with behavioral/emotional difficulties and their families. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a Recognized Effective Treatment for PTSD and is widely considered one of the best treatments for processing trauma. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented type of talk therapy. It can help manage mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, and emotional concerns, such as coping with grief or stress.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I personally believe that therapy is anti-oppressive. That means that I am committed to social justice and I apply that lens to all of my work.
