I am person-centered in my practice, starting where the client is at and working with them to achieve their goals. I practice as a Christian counselor but respect clients of all faith/ no faith. I use a variety of methods including CBT, ERP, EFT (tapping), person-centered reflection, and some somatic visualizations. I am very holistic in my treatment and refer to functional and traditional psychiatry as needed.

I have lived and professional experiences with OCD. I received BTTI training this year (Vancouver 2024) and previously had completed CEUS through the IOCDF conference two other years. Both an intern (2015-2018) or currently in private practice (2019-current) I have had experience in working with clients with OCD.

The university program I attended for social work was very diverse and I had a variety of experiences in grad school with diversity. My private practice is very open to serving diverse populations.
