My Approach to Helping
Choosing to pursue therapy can be scary, but I want to congratulate you on making the decision to take the first step towards a better life! I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I am a skilled and competent coach, committed and motivated to help you reach your full potential. I have worked in the mental health field since 2012 and have expertise in couples and relationships; individual issues for men and women; anxiety; depression; life transitions and changes; sexuality issues; LGBTQ+; and trauma. I am passionate about mental health and helping others, and I use modalities that are backed by years of research, including but not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and cognitive processing therapy (CPT). I also have experience working with children, adults, and the elderly, as well as individuals with medical backgrounds. I see patients from a holistic perspective as I am also a registered nurse and currently pursuing my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in psychiatric medicine. I have worked in many challenging settings with complex patients and cases. I believe in the power of a thorough assessment and working on attaining the treatment goals we set together for you. Together, we can handle anything. Know that whether you cry or laugh, no matter the issue or need, I will be there for you every step of the way.
