Clients say this provider is
I’m a laid-back, client-centered therapist who believes therapy should feel like a safe, relaxed, and nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self and explore what’s on your mind. My approach is collaborative and grounded in meeting you where you are. Together, we’ll work toward a path forward that feels meaningful and aligned with your unique needs and goals. I’m here to listen, offer support and perspective, and help you recognize and build on the strengths you already have. I believe meaningful change happens at your own pace, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
During our first visit, we’ll take time to explore what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the experience. I’ll listen to your expectations, needs, and priorities so we can collaboratively establish goals that feel meaningful and relevant to you. This initial conversation is an opportunity for us to begin building a therapeutic relationship and create a direction for our work together.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my laid-back, curious, and nonjudgmental approach. I strive to create a space where you can feel safe being open and authentic, without fear of criticism, judgment, or pressure. My natural curiosity allows me to understand your unique perspective and experiences, which helps guide our conversations in a way that feels comfortable, collaborative, and meaningful. I’m here to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and help you explore what matters most to you, while offering support and respecting your individual pace and journey.
My ideal clients are individuals who are open, curious, and ready to make meaningful changes in their lives. Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or seeking overall personal growth, I work best with those who are willing to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with an open mind.

I am trained in DBT, had experience in 2019 facilitating a DBT oriented group in an Criminal Justice Setting. DBT combines mindfulness, emotional regulation, and practical skills to help you navigate life’s barriers and challenges. It is especially helpful for individuals struggling with anxiety, self-harm, emotional dysregulation, or relationship difficulties.
I am an experienced therapist specializing in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), a goal-oriented approach that emphasizes clients’ strengths and resources to create positive change. With a focus on identifying what works and building on existing successes, I help individuals and couples develop practical strategies to overcome challenges and move toward their desired future. My approach is collaborative, empowering clients to recognize their own capabilities and take meaningful steps toward lasting solutions.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured, evidence-based approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. I work collaboratively with individuals to develop practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges. By focusing on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, I support clients in building healthier coping strategies and achieving lasting personal growth.
I have a strong background in Psychodynamic Therapy, an insight-oriented approach that explores how unconscious patterns and early life experiences shape current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through a supportive and reflective therapeutic relationship, I help clients gain deeper self-awareness and understanding of their inner conflicts, fostering personal growth and emotional healing. This approach is particularly effective for those seeking long-term change and a deeper connection with themselves and others.
