Banner Health Clinic

The human person is innately designed for balance and health but the frailty of human biology and the imperfection of human interactions often lead to complicated, ineffective and distressing lives. Counseling helps to untangle the complications and to guide the individual toward restoring and/or establishing balance and health.

The foundation of the provider/patient relationship is trust and communication. I actively listen to my patient to understand their problems and goals so we can achieve the best outcome together. I am committed to providing affirming and trauma-informed care to all my patients, and am an ally to those who are, and identify as, LGBTQIA+ as well as other diverse identities , in both my professional and personal life.

My approach to treatment centers around making the client feel fully in control of the session. I consider my client to be the expert in their lives and let them tell me what they need from treatment and help guide them toward their individual goals. I utilize a variety of tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization Processing therapy to provide a trauma informed therapy experience that is comfortably tailored to each individual person. Self-care is very important to me and in my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, taking advantage of time at the gym, spending time outdoors, eating sushi, and reading my favorite author, Stephen King.
