I am a genuine and seasoned clinician with an extensive medical and mental health background. I am most skilled at treating anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, mood disorders, behavioral issues, stress, developmental/intellectual disabilities, and co-occurring mental health diagnoses. I use my creativity to design a person-centered treatment approach. I find the use of visuals, daily schedules, calendars, reinforcement boards, picture-activity schedules, writing/journaling, art work, and crafts to be a helpful tool in and around therapy. I have extensive behavior analytic experience that is helpful in treating a myriad of concerns children or adults may have.

Focusing on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are essential towards making positive and lasting change. Use of CBT to improve self-awareness, thought patterns, and reactions or behaviors are beneficial when motivation exists within the client. Identifying and committing to the application of healthy coping skills is important.

I find the most important aspect in effective treatment to be the rapport and relationship between client and therapist. I seek to build that relationship and trust, so that long-lasting benefits to treatment are gained. I look forward to working with you in an empowering and empathic approach towards betterment of the self.
