Biography:

I have been trained as a generalist. This means I am prepared to work with most mental health issues. My theoretical approach to mental health counseling is integrative. This means I do not apply one approach to most individuals. I attempt to match interventions with each individual's unique needs and comfort level. Generally speaking, I believe many emotional and psychological struggles are rooted in troubling relationships and patterns of self-expression. I also believe that psychological and emotional change occurs when we are better able to identify and develop our personal strengths. Schools of psychological thought I draw most from and integrate are Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, Cognitive-behavioral, and Positive Psychology.
