Description

My formal training and experiences are rooted in CBT, ACT, CPT and DBT.  I often thread in self compassion and mindfulness, and am well versed in crisis planning. I consider myself a lifelong learner, believing that any new information or tools that I can learn, can only serve to benefit the people I connect with every day.  I have 20 years of experience working in mental health within various community and hospital-based settings.

My approach is collaborative and non judgmental while anchored in cultural humility.  I would be honored to support you as you strive towards mental wellness.
