Employment history includes, private practice and community mental health, National Naval Medical Center (Bethesda Naval). I have over 16 years as a psychotherapist in behavioral health within the Veterans Administration.
Philosophy guiding my approach to engagement with those seeking improved life change is reflected in the concept of: the Will to Heal … the Desire to Serve.
Life is a dynamic flux, and it is imperative to develop the skills promoting the ability to adjust and prevail as one navigates change. It is vital for the Individual to explore and find pathways toward health in order to move beyond wounding and fear, to a place of hope and understanding.
Human beings are complex and elements of therapy need to tailor to the uniqueness of the person seeking care. Some modalities informing my approach include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Holistic, Strength Based Approach, Trauma Informed Treatment. The relationship that forms within the framework of therapy is central to the motivation for healing.
Areas of Focus: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Grief and Loss, Life Transitions, Relationship Concerns, Veteran issues.
Population to serve: 21yo to Adult and Late Life
