I have over 20 years of experience empowering clients, teaching them coping skills, identifying distorted thinking, and triggers, and equipping them with tools and techniques that can be useful when they need to rescue themselves, helping them connect with their inner strength and see the diamond that they are. My approach is calm, empathetic, compassionate, client-led, trauma-informed, and Strengths-Based. I like prescribing movements such as yoga, movie therapy, and bibliotherapy as adjunct to therapy.
If my client is open to trying different interventions, I am well-versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Mindfulness, Meditation, and Motivational Interviewing.
I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth. For my availability, please reach out to Octave’s team by emailing or calling.
