I've been trained in motivational interviewing since 2010 and utilize this approach with those that are seeking to make significant changes in their lives/patterns.

CBT is a tried and true therapeutic approach for connecting thoughts with actions. Utilizing this approach in combination with motivational interviewing and other therapeutic approaches, I am able to truly process choices/decisions with clients and develop a plan for changing these patterns.

Utilizing a person-centered approach allows me to see my client as the expert. In sessions, while I may offer some suggestions and homework assignments, we will really explore solutions that come from within and process how to overcome any barriers present that have been keeping you from regularly functioning in the manner you would prefer.

I have over 10 years of experience working with adolescents and their caregivers to address behavioral concerns, trauma processing, general adolescence/school concerns/peer relationships, trans/LGBTQ+ topics, and family issues.

I have over 8 years of experience providing professional supervision and therapy to licensed and master-level mental health practitioners.

I have over 10 years of experience in supporting clients in developing their ability to regulate and reduce stress/anxiety/depressed mood through mindfulness, meditation, and healthy coping strategies. This also includes supporting medication management/monitoring for more chronic experiences of emotional dysregulation.

I have over 8 years of experience providing professional supervision, training and therapy to licensed and master-level mental health practitioners. I believe in working to support healthy coping and regulation strategies while processing cases/work related stressors to reduce compassion fatigue and secondary trauma.
