Clinical Approach
I provide individual, family, and couples therapy to children, adolescents, and adults with a range of mental health issues/disorders. I utilize the following therapies: Cognitive-Behavioral, DBT skills, Solution-Focused Brief, Motivational interviewing, Narrative, and Trauma focused therapy. My primary focus is to help change the patterns of thinking or behavior thus changing how they feel and view themselves. I strive to use person-centered therapy, including empathic understanding and nonjudgmental acceptance and providing a safe environment while helping individuals to graduate from services and move towards maintenance.
In my free time I enjoy getting outside, spending time with my family, doing hot yoga, exercising, traveling, cooking, watching my kids play sports, snowboarding and playing sand volleyball.
