When it comes to therapy, I look at the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative approach. I plan to work with you on developing goals and tools to help you succeed and improve your overall quality of life. I incorporate techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness based approaches to help each person live their life to the fullest. I have experience working in outpatient mental health, outpatient medical settings, and inpatient medical hospitals, working with a variety of mental and physical health concerns and syndromes. These experiences have informed my approach to therapy by integrating evidence based interventions with the unique diversity of each individual and family I interact with.
