In my therapeutic approach I integrate various treatment modalities to fit each client’s individual needs and counseling goals within a calm and non-judgmental space.

Being a part of a growing community embracing the balance of modern and traditional healing is my passion. Treating mental health is a balance of all things human. I believe healing our bodies, minds, and communities must go together with healing the Earth. There is wilderness within us all. When we have lost our connection with nature, we have lost our connection to ourselves. Since trauma often happens in the context of relationships, so can healing. The therapeutic relationship is an important indicator of successful therapy. Therefore, I value creating a safe therapeutic alliance utilizing a strength-based approach with cognitive behavioral components. Together, we will identify problems and work towards solutions that are adept with your lifestyle in order to increase your overall happiness and wellness.

As an LCSW, my practice is informed by a rich diversity of experiences I have learned in- from community mental health with children, nature-based therapy with adolescents, inpatient eating disorder treatment with adults, and now in a level 1 trauma emergency department. In the hospital, I am often meeting people in their worst moments, and I take that responsibility to heart. The parts of you that hurt the most may be from the death of a loved one or loss in a life transition, marginalization by dominant society, overuse of substances, body image distress, family of origin issues or overall uncertainty navigating the world today. Symptoms may look like panic attacks, unrelenting cycles of stress, thoughts of suicide or inability to sleep. Whatever it is, you are not broken. It is your nervous system sending you signals, and this is the motivation for change. My style is accepting and warm, yet direct. I believe in transparency and nurturing your self-exploration with feedback. In the setting of Spring Health, I primarily utilize Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help you move in the direction of living your values and fully realizing your capacity to transcend your suffering. I see race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, and age as relevant to your experience and therefore to therapy. Therapy is an opportunity to recognize, reclaim and revive your power to effect change. Identifying where you feel empowered in your life can show where you feel stuck. Together we can figure out what works for you, not what should work for you to feel better and restore hope to keep pressing on. I have never met a strong person who did not have a story to tell, and I welcome the opportunity to hear yours.
