LCSW, 5 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a dedicated and empathetic therapist who works with individuals and couples to support emotional growth and healthy relationships. I use evidence-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method, and tailor my interventions to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly understood and empowered to create meaningful change.
In our first session, I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. We’ll discuss your background, concerns, and goals in a supportive, judgment-free space. I’ll answer any questions you have about the therapy process and together we’ll begin to develop a plan tailored to your unique needs.
My greatest strengths are building trust, fostering genuine connection, and creating a supportive environment where clients feel truly heard. I am flexible and collaborative, adapting my approach to meet each client’s unique needs. Clients appreciate my empathy, practical guidance, and ability to help them develop effective strategies for lasting growth, resilience, and positive change in their lives.
My ideal clients are individuals and couples who are motivated to improve their emotional well-being, relationships, and communication. I am best positioned to support those experiencing anxiety, emotional dysregulation, conflict, or life transitions. Clients who are open to learning new skills and engaging in evidence-based therapy will benefit most from my collaborative approach and commitment to fostering lasting, positive change.
I have extensive experience using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients manage emotional dysregulation and interpersonal difficulties. I tailor DBT skills to each client’s needs and help them understand and apply mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills—often using screen sharing and interactive tools in sessions.
I use the Gottman Method to help couples improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen their relationships. In sessions, I tailor evidence-based interventions to each couple’s needs and use structured exercises and tools to foster trust, intimacy, and understanding.
