About me

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels both supportive and collaborative. My goal is to provide a safe space where clients can process trauma, explore challenges, and build the skills they need to live more fully. I offer psychotherapy, therapeutic assessments, and specialized interventions designed to meet each client’s unique needs. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing mental health concerns, or seeking greater clarity in your relationships, I aim to help you feel understood and empowered. As I often remind clients, our connection to the world is shaped by the people we engage with. Together, we can build on your existing strengths and experiences to create meaningful change and improve your quality of life.

Get to know me

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

During our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and creating a foundation for your therapeutic journey. You can expect a supportive space where you’ll feel heard and respected, with opportunities to share what brings you to therapy. My focus is on building a human connection first, so we can move forward with trust and understanding.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring empathy, integrity, and passion to every session. My innovative and mindful approach helps me stay fully present with each client, ensuring that every step of the process is tailored to your needs. I believe that every interaction we have contributes meaningfully to your healing and growth.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with clients who are managing co-occurring disorders, mood dysregulation, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, substance use challenges, personality disorders, and unresolved trauma. I also have experience supporting clients with autism, psychosomatic concerns, self-harm behaviors, and chemical dependency. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you take steps toward healing and resilience.

My treatment methods

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

This clinician utilizes this approach to help clients better understand their triggers, values, and perceived capabilities to successfully transition, adjust, and overcome the present moment. With that, this clinician helps provide realistic solution-focused treatment plan to help distinguish how one is to commitment to their new perspective(s), circumstance(s), challenge(s), and/or environment(s). Remaining neutral, during this approach, is paramount.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

This clinician helps the client highlight how their thoughts are associated with certain words, phrases, triggers, and/or memories that have a direct impact on their beliefs about themselves, others, and/or the world around them; ultimately, having consequences to the behaviors exhibited, as result of their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interactions.

Cognitive Processing (CPT)

This clinician helps guide the client through the second version of the Cognitive Processing Therapy Workbook, while also helping them to be grounded in their traumatic narrative. This clinician also walks the client through each ABC worksheet, while deliberately focusing on each domain.

Collaborative Management and Assessment of Suicidality (CAMS)

This clinician utilizes the CAMS risk assessment tool, stabilization plans, and ongoing follow up to complete at least five sessions of trauma-informed care.

Forensic Psychology

This clinician is S.O.A.R. certified and helps develop disability claims for the Social Security Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, Workman's Compensation, and/or specific Employment Assistance Programs.
