Treatment Approach
Creative, Collaborative and Experiential
I work collaboratively and creatively, walking alongside you on your journey, to help you navigate life's challenges. I believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every person and that every person deserves the opportunity to experience joy, hope, health, relief, and recovery. Together, we will explore opportunities for creative growth so you may (re)discover your sense of well-being.
I take an integrative approach in which I blend different but complementary techniques. This flexible approach enables the counseling experience to be tailored to the individual needs of each client. I have training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Mindfulness. I have experience in nature-based therapy and also bring my passion for art to my work. I utilize these different approaches to work with anxiety, depression, loss and grief, education and learning, low self-esteem, phase of life issues, family and relationship challenges, and substance use. We will explore experiential activities, skill building, psycho-education and activities for the client to complete between sessions. Together, we will work to deepen your awareness and understanding of your needs to decrease symptoms and increase wellness so you may experience a more authentic and fulfilling life.
“Maybe you should always have an improbable quest playing at the edges of your imagination…a goal that constantly rouses you to stretch your possibilities and open your mind further; a wild hope… - Rob Brezsny
