I worked in community mental health for several years, where I gained my clinical licensure, before making the jump to private practice.
I utilize a client-centered treatment approach incorporating multiple, evidence-based treatment modalities, theories, and frameworks. Some of my preferred methods of treatment are Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, etc.
I thoroughly enjoy working with adults of all ages, as well as teens. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, bipolar, self-esteem issues, trauma, couples therapy, anger management, grief, and more.
