I have a strong desire to know the person (or people) in front of me as ‘people’ rather than a set of symptoms or diagnostic criteria. Beyond merely considering the symptoms patients are experiencing, I look at the interconnectedness of the systems that may influence what’s bringing them into therapy, including work, school, religious institutions, economic status, family, relationships, and more. Having previously assisted at-risk and low-income children, families, and adults with finding housing, health insurance, and school, I believe I have a unique opportunity as a therapist to provide direction to address relevant social factors as needed.

I practice individual, family and couples therapy. I incorporate a multidisciplinary approach incorporating aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to assist patients with achieving an optimal sense of wellbeing in their interpersonal relationships as well as their sense of satisfaction in their relationship with themselves.
