My journey as a professional counselor for the past two decades has been deeply rewarding. Witnessing the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of therapy has fueled my commitment to this work. Over the years, my expertise in trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions has grown through continuous learning and, most importantly, through the privilege of walking alongside countless individuals on their paths to healing and growth. My foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, coupled with a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental approach, has shaped my practice and my unwavering belief in the potential for positive change within each person I have the honor to support.

"I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop essential skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and increasing overall well-being. My approach focuses on balancing acceptance and change to create meaningful and lasting positive outcomes."

Trauma-Focused CBT

"I specialize in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based treatment approach designed to help children, adolescents, and their caregivers overcome the impact of traumatic1 experiences. TF-CBT integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with trauma-sensitive principles to promote healing and resilience
