Over the past 15 years I've provided psychotherapy and social work services in a variety of settings, including private practice, outpatient mental health clinics, substance use treatment programs, and inpatient psychiatric hospital units. I have completed specialized trainings in multiple treatment modalities, including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, ACT, CBT, MBSR, Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. I aim to collaboratively explore the origin of thinking, feeling and behavioral patterns, and increase curiosity about whether these patterns continue to be useful. We then tend to feel more empowered to identify desired changes and forge a new path forward. My approach to treatment is holistic, as I tailor my practice according to the wants and needs of each individual.
I currently facilitate a weekly chronic illness psychotherapy group that provides individuals with a communal space to learn skills to relate differently to illness and pain, explore topics including self-esteem, identity, anxiety, depression and body image, and process feelings related to a new or existing medical diagnosis. I also facilitate a weekly women’s alcohol use psychotherapy group for female identifying folks to explore meanings and functions of alcohol use, assess potential for risk/harm and identify opportunities for values-based positive changes, increase self-compassion and connect with other women trying to change their relationship with alcohol.
