What It's Like To Work With Me
I see you as more than a diagnosis. I provide a holistic focus on your individual physical, emotional, and family health. Not every therapist looks at the whole picture. I assess the entire person, not just their clinical diagnosis. I have a very system-focused approach — I look at you within the context of your system, how you interact differently or the same in various places and with various people. We do not live in a vacuum. The way you see yourself impacts those around you and your system.
Personal Highlights
I specialize in using holistic health methods, counseling, and naturopathy to manage mood disorders. I am trained as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), a Doctor of Naturopathy (ND), certified as a Professional in Human Resources (PHR), and credentialed as a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). This allows me to help individuals, families, and work environments improve relationships, culture, and overall health and wellness.
