About Me
An Honest Start
I wrote out the standard, third-person introduction, but let's make an honest start. This practice is composed of only one person - as the name suggests - and that's by design; This work is intended to be a faithful representation of my experience, standards, and values. I have over a decade of experience in mental health fields, spanning acute care nursing to individual psychotherapy, and have stood beside clients facing down problems from moderate depression to acute psychosis. Like most of my contemporaries, my approach draws on many different schools of thought, but, broadly speaking, it aligns most closely with mentalization-based, interpersonal, and solution-focused therapies. I work with both adults (18+) and couples. I have had success working with a variety clients working through challenging issues such as loss, grief, and life transitions. My approach best serves those looking for increased self-awareness, understanding and perspective. Additionally, my background in the health sciences offers special insight when working with individuals in the helping professions.
