I approach my therapeutic work as my genuine self, incorporating humor, compassionate directness, unconditional acceptance, and sometimes a little foul language, to build rapport and help clients move toward their identified goals. I recognize societal and other life-factors that impact/influence each individual, gaining understanding of each person’s unique framework for moving through the world. I work hard to be aware of my own privilege(s), that my perspective is my own, and as such am continuously open to feedback and seeking to learn. I believe a diagnosis defines a constellation of symptoms, it does not define a person. I also value and welcome feedback in order to provide the best possible clinical care - and it's a beautiful place to practice self-advocacy.

I have worked in a number of environments and am excited to get to bring these experiences and skills to the outpatient setting. I have worked in higher levels of care participating in crisis intervention, addiction as a primary concern, eating disorder as a primary concern, and mood/anxiety/trauma as primary. These multiple experiences have allowed me to develop a unique and varied skillset.
