About
I use an integrative approach that blends evidence-based practices grounded in the psychological literature. I have experience working with adolescents and adults to eliminate: anxiety, stress, and anger issues; depressive and bipolar mood symptoms; relationship, work, and school issues; rumination and repetitive behaviors; and substance use problems. Therapy is a process that can involve learning skills, working through challenging emotions, motivating ego, behavior change, interpersonal effectiveness, and identity formation factors. View 5 Photos I have specialized training in cognitive-behavioral therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for trauma re-processing, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, and motivational enhancement. In addition to talk therapy, I use relaxation, mindfulness, and grounding strategies to enhance mind-body-spirit communication. First, I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to start therapy and patience to find a therapist who can provide helpful guidance. I have over 20 years of clinical experience focused on guiding people through psychological stressors at the intersection of race, ethnicity, gender, culture, class, trauma, religion, spirit, and interpersonal connection.
