I am a solution-focused therapist with a collaborative, non-judgemental, and client centered approach to treatment. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their challenges and make progress towards creating healthy and satisfying lives. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other empirically validated treatments research proven to be most effective in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. I have experience working with diverse populations in a variety of settings providing treatment for depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, panic disorder, social anxiety, bipolar, and schizophrenia. I am also a certified alcohol and drug counselor with experience treating substance use disorders. I specialize in working with those for whom conventional forms of treatment have been ineffective. I approach substance use from a harm reduction perspective, which supports clients rights to choose the nature of their recovery. I have received advanced training in Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Harm Reduction. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and in the process of obtaining Diplomate status with The Academy of Cognitive Therapy. I also provide clinical supervision to graduate students and early career clinicians.
