I am honored to step into a role of trust and support as your therapist. I’ll meet you where you are, bringing my authentic self to our sessions. We all face challenges, and we all have the capacity to grow—I'd love to be part of your journey. Therapy is a collaboration; share what feels safe, at your pace.

I have over 3 years of experience helping adults, teens and families in crisis. With experience across diverse settings, including hospitals and schools, I’ve developed a wide range of tools to support clients through varying levels of distress. I take an eclectic therapeutic approach, tailoring my methods to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma related to their experiences/relationships. During our initial sessions, we will discuss whatever feels most relevant and safe, and create a plan to address things in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients gain a sense of safety in therapy, and begin recognizing their own power to reach their goals.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build resilience. Through structured interventions such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and mindfulness techniques, I support clients in gaining new perspectives on their thoughts and emotions. My goal is to empower individuals with practical skills they can use to manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance their overall well-being
I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. By integrating acceptance and change-based strategies, I support clients in managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and building healthier relationships. Through structured interventions such as skills training, validation techniques, and guided problem-solving, I empower individuals to create a life that aligns with their values and long-term goals.
I utilize Person-Centered Therapy to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. By emphasizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness, I help individuals explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. My goal is to foster self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth, allowing clients to tap into their own strengths and inner resources to navigate life’s challenges.
