My Approach
I employ a variety of theoretical, evidence based strategies while I tailor my work to best suit your needs. My therapeutic approach is open, collaborative and flexible. I approach the situation with a mix of humility and curiosity while utilizing clinical resourcefulness to provoke your self exploration and stimulate renewed understanding. Therapy is not advice driven; rather, it is a joint endeavor that does not use a cookie cutter approach. The treatment is specifically tailored to meet your individual needs. In a confidential setting, we work together to explore and understand your circumstance. The connection that develops in the therapeutic relationship can be transformative and healing.
Education + Training
In addition to what I have learned in pursuit of my Masters Degree in Social Work and my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Social Work and Human Services, I continue to pursue educational opportunities to expand my knowledge base and improve my skills.
My work experience bridges many years in private practice along with 10+ previous years working in academic, inpatient medical and psychiatric hospital settings, community mental health, and inpatient addiction rehabilitation treatment. These experiences continue to inform my work.
