Clinical Profile & Philosophy
Throughout my time at JMU, I actively participated in many community-based learning opportunities in which I worked with a broad spectrum of populations. My experience includes cofacilitating an Intensive Outpatient Program and Partial Hospitalization Program in Harrisonburg and assisting to create safe social groups for older adults during the nation’s period of social isolation at the Powhatan Department of Social Services. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with several mental health diagnoses including Anxiety, Depression, Substance Use Disorder, and Bipolar Disorder. Currently, I work particularly with young adults and adolescent-aged individuals.
I use a combination of DBT, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness skills (and many other interventions), as well as a strengths-based approach when working with individuals and families. My main goal is to allow individuals a space where they feel empowered as the expert of their own situations and capable of change.
