Approach to Care

I am a passionate behavioral health provider who provides an empowering and supportive space for patients. With over 20 years of experience, my practice focuses on treating trauma, eating disorders, men’s mental health, anxiety disorders, and health challenges. I practice through a trauma-informed lens with an emphasis upon building resiliency, safety, and collaboration.

I utilize various therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Motivational Interviewing. My style is client-centered and strengths-based, providing kindness and warmth. I wholeheartedly believe in treating every patient with respect, dignity, and compassion.
