It is my goal to foster an environment of support, safety, and healing. To accomplish this I strive to couple compassion with competence. My approaches are grounded in research and I am trained in multiple evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, TF-CBT, DBT, CBT, MB-CBT, Mindfulness and ACT. However, I believe it is not enough to simply have the knowledge of what is effective. This knowledge must be accompanied by true compassion, acceptance, and nonjudgmental support. Throughout my career I have sought to bring both skill and care to my clients across the lifespan and have specialized in working with teens, children, and families.
