Life is tricky. Therapy can help.
ABOUT ME
PRACTICE INFORMATION
I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship distress, difficult transition, school/work issues, low self-esteem, and addiction. Although I approach therapy from a strengths-based perspective, I incorporate techniques from several different theories depending on the clients’ personality and circumstances. I work with clients to hear their concerns without judgment and to explore ways to achieve emotional growth, develop skills, and obtain desired changes.​
​
My treatment approach includes:
-
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
-
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
-
Motivational Interviewing
-
Narrative
-
Person-Centered
-
Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)
-
Strength-Based
​
EXPERIENCE
In addition to my work in my private practice, I have experience working in community-based mental health, law enforcement, integrated healthcare, school settings, and inpatient facilities, where I have provided individual therapy, facilitated counseling groups, and provided clinical supervision to master’s level students.

VIRTUAL THERAPY
​
Individual therapy provided via the internet, called telehealth or telepractice, is very similar to in-person sessions. Video therapy is an excellent option to be able to address the mental health challenges you're experiencing from the safety and comfort of your own home.

Virtual Therapy & Telepractice FAQs
Virtual therapy sounds weird and awkward
It makes sense to feel apprehensive about video therapy, but it has actually been around for the better half of two decades. While there might be some initial discomfort, we will quickly ease into our conversation and find a flow that works for us.
Does online therapy work?
​
Yes! There is substantial empirical evidence that video therapy is effective in treating mental health concerns. Video sessions enable us to meet within a more flexible schedule and from the comfort of your home, work, or even your car. I have found that my video sessions with individuals have been just as effective, intimate, deep, and refreshing as in-person sessions.
What platform do we use?
​
We will meet using the Zoom platform. Zoom is private, secure, and HIPPA compliant. Zoom can be downloaded or accessed via web browser on your phone, tablet, or computer.
​
You will receive an email link prior to your intake session.
Is video therapy my only option to work with you?
​
Yes. I am currently only providing services virtually. If you have concerns about privacy, please reach out to me via email. There are many great ways to help create a safe and private space in your home that I can help you with!
