In my work I rely on evidence-based treatment approaches, drawing on CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic theories while maintaining a nonjudgmental and compassionate therapeutic relationship. I believe trust, patience, and humor are the most important qualities in any relationship, including the therapeutic one! I am committed to practicing social justice through social work and find great meaning in helping clients navigate the mental health system whether this is their first foray into therapy or their hundredth. I have experience working with clients across the lifespan with concerns such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, substance use, and chronic medical / mental health needs.
