My Approach to Therapy

I believe good therapy should feel personal, purposeful, and relevant to your life. I bring more than two decades of clinical experience, along with curiosity, perspective, humor, and a genuine interest in the person sitting across from me. I I’m an active therapist. I’ll listen carefully, ask questions, offer feedback, and sometimes challenge you to look at things from a different perspective. There is no single formula I follow; our work is shaped by who you are, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to accomplish. Most importantly, I believe the relationship we build matters. Therapy should be a place where you can speak candidly, explore what matters to you, and do meaningful work with someone who is fully engaged in the process with you.

My Practice & Services

Counseling and coaching have always been the foundation of my career, but I have experience in a number of areas: Clinical & fiscal operations; auditing, contract management, & monitoring; substance abuse prevention, intervention & treatment; training, development, & clinical supervision; public policy & advocacy; grant writing; consulting; program development evaluation; and, higher education.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I first began working with clients when I was a teenager - volunteering in my community helping seniors, children, and families - by volunteering at my local hospital, senior center, and school. My career in behavioral healthcare began in 1996, when a volunteer summer internship led me down a path I'm honored to travel along to this day. I’ve dedicated my life and career to working in our community, helping others in a variety of capacities.
