Banner - University Medicine Behavioral Health Clinic

My approach to care is built on collaboration and compassion. I find it important to understand the psychological, social, and medical factors impacting a person’s quality of life and well-being. The next step is working together to identify goals for care and a course of treatment. My hope is for the individuals I work with to develop insight, feel educated, and learn a new set of coping skills through a brief, evidence-based psychotherapy model.

I enjoy working collaboratively with patients and their family/support system and therapists in the hopes of helping patients obtain the best response to treatment and attain the highest functional level possible.

Psychotherapeutic orientations are matched to patient's needs and can include: - Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - Psychodynamic/Supportive Therapy - Diagnostic Evaluations - Family Systems approaches for couples and families - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma - Brief-Solution Focused Therapy - Spirituality Focused Therapy
