My approach to mental health is to explore social and emotional functioning by assessing current obstacles and working with individuals to help rule out possible organic medical conditions that could present as mental health challenges.

I provide long and short-term psychotherapy via regular, prescheduled appointments. I am flexible and I find it most important to meet the individual where they are during their initial appointment. I enjoy and am open to humor and sometimes I may use it to get you out of a bad emotional spot.

I use a combination of modalities rooted in Family Systems and Psychodynamic Theories. I also incorporate elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Play Therapy and Task-Centered Treatment.
