Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Therapy is a partnership. I hope that anyone I meet with feels comfortable, supported, and heard. It is my goal to provide empathy, understanding, a place to vent, and an opportunity to make change. I also understand that one’s needs do not end at the end of a therapy session and therefore work to create specific plans of how to cope with life’s obstacles on a daily basis and to be available when possible for additional support.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and am comfortable using multiple other evidence-based therapies to help children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples work towards their goals. Within DBT are areas for mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. The skills in these areas can be tailored to address many of the reasons an individual may seek a therapeutic relationship. Therapy is a very individual experience, meaning what works for one person might not work for someone else. I will work with you to find modalities and tools that feel like a good fit and would be realistic in your personal life.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe I am good at working with others due to my empathy and down-to-earth nature. I strive for individuals to feel heard and understood. I also will work with you to challenge thoughts and actions when necessary if they are not helping you achieve your goals. My style is to be supportive while continuing to be realistic. I am very passionate about being able to help others, which has prompted me to become certified in multiple areas in the mental health field. As human beings we are complex and therefore have complex situations that often require a range of knowledge and tools for problem solving.
