About My Clients

Significant experience working with high-level professionals, athletes, college students, teens, military personnel, and first responders.

My Background and Approach

My clinical work is rooted in cognitive behavioral theory. I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to treat trauma; as well as specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), & Motivational Interviewing (MI). As a therapist, I am positive, encouraging, strengths-based & empathetic. I pride myself on the ability to develop meaningful therapeutic relationships & foster a safe, comfortable & supportive environment. Personal interests in art and music, mindfulness practices, fitness, exercise, sports, athletics & coaching are often woven into my work.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I welcome ALL teens and adults and value serving diverse clients with varied racial and cultural backgrounds, nationalities, sexual orientations, gender identities, family structures, and abilities. I am constantly reminded of the symbiotic nature of this work as I continue to learn and grow from each interaction. I celebrate our differences and am committed to doing my own work to better understand how privilege manifests in my life and how I may conduct myself in a manner that contributes to a more equitable society for all.
