I specialize in adults with depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, and cultural issues. My approach is calm, collaborative, genuine, nurturing, and real. I believe that for therapy to be effective you have to feel safe and connected with your therapist. I use an eclectic approach in therapy, so I tailor treatment to meet your needs, and I incorporate a variety of different modalities and techniques, including, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered, mindfulness, relaxation skills, communication skills, and anger management skills. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and I have been in the field for over 19 years.
