Mindy has been working in behavioral health since 2019 and brings a wealth of experience across a variety of treatment settings. She is deeply passionate about mental health and genuinely enjoys learning the idiosyncrasies that make each person unique. Her style is warm, approachable, and collaborative, often incorporating humor to help clients feel comfortable, understood, and supported.
Mindy’s therapeutic approach is rooted in Adlerian theory and integrates evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and DBT skills. She works primarily with older adolescents (16+) and young adults, and is open to working with most adults ages 18 and older. Mindy values curiosity, insight-building, and helping clients develop practical tools they can use in their everyday lives.
Outside of work, Mindy enjoys hot yoga, walking and running, playing the guitar, and relaxing with a good true crime book or documentary.
