About Me

My Approach & Values

As humans we each struggle at times with difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations. It is in those times that one can become “stuck” and feel there is no way to move forward. I do my best to help people open up, move toward their values, and be true to themselves.

In order to provide the best treatment possible, I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. This therapy is focused on helping individuals and families cope with difficult thoughts and feelings in ways that allow them to move toward their values and live full and meaningful lives.

My Experience

Having graduated in 2008 I have more than ten years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Over the years I have worked in inpatient, outpatient, and school settings. This has provided me the opportunity to work with a full spectrum of mental health concerns.

At this point I also use my education, experience, and understanding to provide supervision and training to other professionals in the field.
