My practice focuses on meeting the needs of individuals who (a) have difficulty managing the toll of a significant medical condition (cancer, chronic pain, HIV/AIDs, etc.) that impacts quality of life, and (b) individuals who are in helping roles and faced with burnout, compassion fatigue, and/or vicarious trauma. I create a safe place allowing you the ability to explore options that fit your values and goals. Each person's unique perspective and experience is honored in a nonjudgmental and compassionate space. As a medical patient and helping professional myself, I've found this approach most effective when I've been in similar shoes. I am dedicated to providing evidence-based, culturally competent, ethical services to the community. If you're interested in talking further to see if this can be a good fit, please feel free outreach. You are not alone!

Approach Description: I use various evidence-based modalities to individualize my approach to meet the needs of each person I support. Therefore, I may use pragmatic techniques with concrete homework assignments (e.g., DBT, CBT, ACT, IFS, etc.) for someone who thrives with that structure while for another person, I may use creative art interventions, existential or positive psychology techniques to help them develop their own coping strategies. I believe that behavioral health services should accommodate to meet the needs of the client rather than asking people I serve to adapt to my way of doing things. Counseling should be a partnership based upon mutual respect, healthy boundaries, and safety to ensure that you can explore challenges and come to solutions that fit your cultural beliefs, values, and goals.
