My background in yoga has inspired my focus towards medical related issues, parental mental health, eating disorders, ADHD and LGBTQIA populations.

I work with individuals dealing with life transitions, medical related issues, mood and affective disorders, and marriage, parenting or family issues. I use a narrative and solution focused approach to collaboratively work with clients to identify successful solutions to problems and how these strengths can be implemented in future situations. I utilize empirically supported techniques that focus on the ways in which individuals think about and respond to events. These interventions allow clients to restructure their thinking, process events and modify behaviors in more adaptive ways. My approach to counseling places an emphasis on the relationship between the client and therapist for the promotion of growth. I believe small changes in the way clients view themselves and their own abilities to solve problems will encourage solution-oriented patterns to reach future goals.
