Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) providing online therapy via telehealth. I received my Master’s degree and have been practicing for 13 years, specializing in DBT, ACT, and CFT, with an additional 5 years of experience using an eclectic approach. I help adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, polyamorous relationships, and infertility develop practical tools for emotional resilience, self-compassion, and healthier, more fulfilling lives. My goal is to support you in creating lasting change and finding balance in every area of your life
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we’ll start with brief introductions and discuss what’s bringing you to therapy. We’ll explore your current challenges and goals, allowing me to create a personalized approach that fits your needs. From there, we’ll work together to build practical strategies for growth and healing in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with adults for the past 13 years, I’ve developed a structured yet flexible approach to help you (a) understand the root causes of your challenges and (b) develop personalized strategies that lead to meaningful, lasting change
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, polyamorous relationships, and infertility. My clients are motivated to create meaningful change but often feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we build practical tools to help them find balance, confidence, and fulfillment in their lives.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a powerful, skills-based approach that helps people navigate life’s challenges with more balance, resilience, and emotional control. I have 13 years of experience using DBT in therapy and have seen firsthand how transformative these skills can be. In our work together, I integrate DBT techniques to support you in making meaningful changes while also accepting yourself as you are. Here’s what you can expect: ✅ Mindfulness: Learn how to be present in the moment instead of getting stuck in the past or future. We’ll practice techniques to help you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and actions without judgment. ✅ Emotional Regulation: If emotions feel overwhelming, I’ll help you develop strategies to understand and manage them more effectively, so they don’t take over your life. ✅ Distress Tolerance: When life gets tough, we’ll focus on practical ways to handle stress without making things worse. You’ll build a toolkit of coping skills to get through difficult moments. ✅ Interpersonal Effectiveness: Relationships can be challenging. I’ll help you strengthen communication skills, set healthy boundaries, and navigate conflicts with confidence. With over a decade of DBT experience, I tailor these skills to your unique needs, blending them with other therapy approaches like CBT, SFBT, REBT, and mindfulness to create a personalized experience. My goal is to help you find practical, real-life strategies that work for you. Ready to get started? Let’s build a path forward together!
Compassion Focused
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is designed to help you develop self-compassion, reduce shame, and build a sense of inner strength. With 9 years of experience using CFT in therapy, I help clients shift from self-criticism to self-kindness, creating a more balanced and resilient mindset. Here’s what you can expect: ✅ Self-Compassion Skills: If you struggle with harsh self-judgment or feelings of inadequacy, we’ll work on developing a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself. ✅ Understanding Your Inner Critic: Many people feel stuck in cycles of shame and self-blame. I’ll help you recognize where these patterns come from and how to respond to yourself with greater care. ✅ Balancing Emotion Systems: CFT teaches that our minds have different emotional systems—threat, drive, and soothing. We’ll work on activating your soothing system to help you feel safer, calmer, and more connected. ✅ Mindfulness & Compassion Practices: Together, we’ll use mindfulness, visualization, and guided exercises to strengthen your ability to respond to challenges with warmth and self-acceptance. I integrate CFT with other therapy approaches like DBT, ACT, CBT, SFBT, and mindfulness to create a personalized experience. If you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, self-criticism, or relationship challenges, CFT can help you build a more compassionate and empowered way of being. Ready to approach yourself and your life with more kindness? Let’s get started!
Eclectic
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why I take an eclectic approach, drawing from multiple evidence-based therapies to create a customized experience that meets your unique needs. With 5 years of experience using an eclectic approach, I blend techniques from DBT, ACT, CFT, CBT, SFBT, REBT, and mindfulness to offer the most effective support for you. Here’s what you can expect: ✅ Personalized Therapy: Instead of following a rigid model, I adapt my approach based on what works best for you—whether that’s structured skills, insight-oriented work, or a balance of both. ✅ Flexibility in Techniques: We’ll use a variety of strategies, from mindfulness exercises to cognitive restructuring, emotion regulation, and values-based action, depending on your goals and challenges. ✅ Focus on Strengths & Growth: I help you identify and build on your strengths while addressing patterns that may be holding you back. ✅ A Collaborative Process: Therapy is a partnership. I’ll guide and support you while also encouraging self-exploration, problem-solving, and personal empowerment. With an eclectic approach, we can pivot as needed, ensuring therapy remains engaging, effective, and aligned with your personal journey. Ready to find what works best for you? Let’s get started!
