Therapy style

I have 15 years of experience in educational and community settings. I have worked extensively with adults and families presenting with a wide variety of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, and substance use. I am a strong advocate of all aspects of positive psychology, including mindfulness and health psychology, and believe that life enrichment is an integral part of the therapeutic process. I became a mental health professional because I believe in the power of positive, stable mental health. When we feel good, we support ourselves, others, and our communities in positive, enduring ways. And have the power to help change our world. I want to be a part of that change.
