Glad you're here. You may not be in the best mood, relationship, or situation, and you might be trying to help a loved one find a therapist; whatever it is - you are in the right place. My theoretical approach is always client-centered with an ecclectic treatment approach pulling from Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt, and Brainspotting therapies. I love helping people willing to explore hard things - who've had trauma - who are ready for different and want to make the most of it - who understand the importance of being true to yourself while honoring life choices for others - with strength. View 5 Photos With years in codependency recovery and a fair amount of complex trauma, I'm driven to help others who have felt the impact of both of these issues. As the Practicum Coordinator and Clinical Faculty at Jessup University, I love mentoring my students through practicum experiences and teaching graduate-level courses. I also enjoy being a Clinical Supervisor. This is my chosen career - a complete shift from securities/finance and years as a singer/musician in my younger years. Life experience has prepared me well for this work. I understand the "human condition" and the tenacity it takes to learn all about it. Nothing is impossible a little at a time! You're not alone and I'm here to help when you're ready.
