My goal is to help clients decrease the negative effects of stress, anxiety, trauma, co-occurring disorders, substance use, and other mental health challenges, while building coping, relationship, and parenting skills. I've worked in domestic violence shelters, on the Drug Court team, in schools and counseling offices, and I believe that individuals are unique with inherent worth. I work to create individualized treatment plans that highlight strengths and meet each client's needs. Approaches may include Adlerian therapy, EMDR, DBT, TRM, expressive art therapy, nCBT, AFFIRM, and PCIT.
