About My Clients
I focus on developing adaptive coping strategies to skillfully navigate the challenges life brings. While we will use situations you have encountered/are encountering as context in which to understand and practice skills, my goal is help you build a repertoire of skills you can choose from to masterfully apply to any problem you encounter.
My Background and Approach
I view therapy as a partnership between client and therapist and approach issues from a behavior change perspective. I work with clients to identify areas that are causing distress, understand how they may be contributing to these problems, and identify changes they can actively make to yield the results they want to see. Because of the many positions I have held in the mental health field during the past 17 years, I am able to pull from a variety of evidenced-based treatment modalities and easily adjust course in order to best meet a client’s needs. I have advanced training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and use this most often due to its focus on behavior change, wide applicability, and effectiveness. I also have advanced training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy Plus (CBT+) which includes a focus on depression, anxiety, trauma, and parenting management.
