I have a profound interest in pulling from various types of therapy, including CBT and DBT, to treat patients. Furthermore, I am passionate about working with children and adolescents and collaborating with professionals in other disciplines. Working in a team atmosphere is motivating for me. The dedication from the families that come into the Sasco River Center is especially inspiring. Seeing the progress made after each session with a patient fills me with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
