I view counseling as a collaborative process between the client and the therapist, with the client being the expert on their own lives. My ultimate goal at a therapist is to support my clients in achieving the goals they set for themselves. My background includes working with adolescents in a residential treatment and hospital setting, working as a school-based mental health provider, providing counseling services in a university counseling center to undergraduate students, and working with clients ages 5 through 75 in an outpatient setting. My primary treatment modalities include EMDR therapy, DBT, motivational interviewing (MI), and CBT.
