My therapeutic approach has been mainly trauma-focused. I have experience working with severe symptoms in clinical and group settings, I have experience leading both PHP and IOP groups for adolescents and adults in which we followed an evidence-based program. The program included meditation, art therapy, drum therapy, and yoga in addition to group therapy.I often use principles of Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT), especially the focus on distress tolerance to help with teaching patients and clients skills to manage stress in intense situations. I feel comfortable using a psychodynamic approach to explore the family of origin impact. My supervisor was heavily mindfulness-based and taught me much of her orientation as well. I have experience working with mild to severe symptoms, from mood to personality disorders. I am comfortable in crisis situations and suicidal ideations and behaviors.I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health
care that's both high-quality and accessible. To learn more about my availability, please reach out to our Client Experience team by emailing or calling.
