Approach

At its core, therapy is an invitation to authenticity. As a person-centered therapist who believes that individuals are the experts of their own lived experiences, my role is to provide a relationship of unconditional acceptance and a consistent space for self-exploration that facilitates clients' movement toward self-actualization. 

​

From this secure base, I incorporate elements from other evidence-based approaches such as DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), CBT (cognitive behavior therapy), Narrative Therapy, and mindfulness techniques depending on the client's  specific goals and preferences. 

​

When working with clients experiencing suicidality, specifically, I utilize an outpatient treatment framework known as CAMS (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality), a protocol which prioritizes the full resolution of suicidal symptoms before moving on to other targets of therapy.
