What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
People considering working with me should know that I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist with a PhD in Counseling Psychology and a master's in Social Work. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor, experienced in helping individuals aged 12 to 75 with various mental health and substance use issues.
I use a range of therapeutic techniques, including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive therapy, gestalt therapy, and psychodynamic approaches. I am committed to providing a non-judgmental, supportive environment where we can work together to explore challenges, identify solutions, and achieve your goals.
I believe that problems can stem from various sources, including upbringing, thoughts, and beliefs, and that changing these can lead to positive behavior changes. My approach is collaborative, empathetic, and focused on understanding and encouraging you throughout your journey. Outside of therapy, I enjoy backpacking, traveling, and creating videos, which bring a fresh perspective and inspiration to my practice.

I am an independently licensed clinical social worker and chemical dependency counselor. I’ve provided therapy to a variety of mental health and substance problems for people ages 12-75. I enjoy helping people figure out the underlying obstacles to growth and success. I come alongside each client and we work together to explore the known and unknown, identify barriers, problems, and solutions, and set goals for the future.

I believe that problems come from a variety of sources, sometimes our upbringing teaches us, sometimes thoughts influence what we do, and sometimes we have beliefs that aren’t in alignment with our goals. I believe we can change behavior if we change thoughts and beliefs. I believe everyone wants to live a better life, whatever that is for each of us. I also believe that two are better than one, which is why it’s so helpful to have an outside perspective!
In my free time, I enjoy backpacking in the mountains, traveling, and making videos of the trips. I’m always ready for a fun adventure!
