I chose a career in Behavioral Health to help people. I enjoy being able to meet people from all walks of life, facing many different things, and helping each one to navigate through their struggles and be successful. Getting people the help, access, care and resources they need is very rewarding. I enjoy being able to teach someone new skills, lift a burden off their shoulders and answer their questions. I believe exceptional care is provided by extensive follow through. I want my patients to be informed and understand their care treatment plan. I have worked in a wide variety of areas including crises services to children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral issues, providing psychotherapy to college age students, dialysis, oncology and integrated health. I have experience with care coordination, disease management, and crisis intervention. I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy as well as psychoeducation.
