In therapy, I like to follow the lead of the client so I can best make suggestions and observations that serve the client’s goals. I employ a holistic approach, considering the whole person: their biology and neuroscience, spirituality, and personal values. My background includes the treatment of a wide variety of mental disorders including trauma, depression, and anxiety. I am skilled in multiple approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I), Relaxation Training, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Existential Therapy, Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). In treatment, I pull from various approaches depending on the needs of each client. I also pull from a wide variety of fields outside of psychology including: neuroscience, philosophy, religion, nutrition, and history. Integrating these different sources of information helps to form a more complete context to understand the problems a person is experiencing.

I believe affirmation is essential and I consistently identify a client’s strengths and celebrate their wins. I believe it is important to address thoughts and patterns that are not working, as well as build on those that work well. When I was first drawn to psychology and counseling, I could tell that a great many people were suffering internally. I wanted to both understand why this was happening and participate in the relief of this suffering. Speaking is one of the primary means by which we order our minds. When we do this, our thinking, our emotions, and our lives become ordered and more peaceful. I invite you to come and talk with me and order your mind.
