My approach to counseling

I draw from a background in counseling, spirituality and education, and view accompanying another on their life’s journey as a tremendous privilege. Internal Family Systems, Focusing Oriented Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing inform my approach. I value the inherent wisdom of each individual’s system. Together I look forward to being with and supporting the areas of life that want more growth, healing, congruency and overall thriving.

I have experience in working with

Depression
Anxiety
Trauma
Identity and self-compassion
Relationships and communication
Mindfulness, spirituality, and diverse faith backgrounds
Transitions, discernment and decision-making
The path of a refugee, asylum seeker, immigrant and individuals with H-1B visas
Work related challenges, development and goals in the areas of technology, management, social and health services, and other areas

Make an Appointment

Samaritan Center uses an Electronic Health Records (EHR) system developed by Valant for client intake and subsequent health records management. To set up your account and schedule your appointment, follow these steps, as directed by your therapist and prompted by Valant:

1. To begin the process, first contact the therapist by email or phone (listed on this page above) to schedule an initial conversation about fit.
2. When prompted by an email from Valant, set up your patient portal account using a validation code provided by your therapist.
3. Fill out your demographic/insurance information in Valant. Let your therapist know when this is complete.
4. When prompted by an email from Valant, complete our eSignature intake packet.

NOTE: All the above steps must be completed before your first session with your therapist.
