Work History
My career as a psychologist began 11 years ago, working in a hospital setting as a therapist for people who were in crisis, including people who were suicidal, in danger of harming others, or experiencing serious turmoil in life. In the years I spent working with people in these very difficult situations, I saw a real need for more effective preventative care, or care focused on preventing the types of mental health crises I was seeing daily from occurring. Seeing this need encouraged my shift into working in community mental health, where I spent the next five years of my career focusing on this type of preventative mental health care. My work included developing community education programs that informed people about common mental health issues, their warning signs, and when to seek care. I also provided individual therapy to people experiencing various types of depression and anxiety, trauma, and life transition issues. It was in this position that I developed and refined my current approach, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strength-based techniques in treatment. Two years ago I expanded into private practice, further focusing my practice in working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, work/life/family stress, life transition issues, and loss and grief related issues, while continuously educating myself and evolving my practice in these areas.
