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. This applies to all my services, as well. I have a very system-focused approach. I look at you within the context of your system. This includes how you interact differently or the same in various places and with various people. Your system is everything and everyone around you. This approach helps me find the triggers in your life that may be missed when only the individual is looked at. Your life around you can also impact the decisions you make as a person, professional, friend, colleague, employee or any role you take on in your life.
We do not live in a vacuum. The way you see yourself impacts those around you and your system. We all connect with each other in various ways, and these connections bleed into our own lives and personality. You are not completely detached from those around you. The people you talk to in your daily life are constantly affecting you, whether it is positive or negative.
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.
