Occupational Therapist
The best of mental healthcare in one place. At Geode, we combine full-spectrum psychiatry and talk therapy to better meet changing patient needs.
I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in supporting adults facing diverse challenges like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, personality disorders, and substance use disorders. My focus is on providing comprehensive assistance. Bringing over a decade of experience in the mental health field, my approach is grounded in client-centered therapy, which highlights the importance of meeting individuals where they are. Acknowledging the uniqueness of each person, support is tailored by drawing from various theoretical orientations, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychodynamic theory, existential humanism, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Passionate about fostering a welcoming and non-judgmental space, my aim is to empower clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. The ultimate goal is to support individuals on their journey towards mental well-being, aligning the assistance with their specific needs. If you're seeking a compassionate and experienced ally in your mental health journey, I'm here to help.
