About me

With over 15 years of experience, I offer clinical expertise in evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Motivational Interviewing. This allows me to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel truly heard, empowered, and supported as they work toward meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in helping children, adolescents, and adults facing behavioral health challenges, trauma, and difficult life situations such as grief, unemployment, divorce, and medical issues. My ideal clients may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain, but they come with a genuine desire for healing and growth. Together, we focus on building emotional stability, strengthening coping skills, and navigating life’s complexities with hope and resilience.

Get to know me

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

Your first session is a supportive, judgment-free space to share what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to understand your challenges, goals, and background, while giving you space to share at your own pace. You can also ask questions about the therapy process and my approach. By the end of the session, we’ll begin outlining a plan tailored to your needs and identify next steps on your path to healing.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength is building trust with clients from diverse backgrounds by creating a safe, empathetic, and culturally sensitive environment where they feel heard and respected. What sets my therapeutic approach apart is its flexibility, I use evidence-based methods such as CBT, DBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. I blend structured techniques with warmth and compassion, supporting clients’ progress at a pace that feels comfortable for them.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I support clients facing a range of challenges, including emotional and behavioral regulation, trauma, family and parenting concerns, and life transitions such as grief, unemployment, college adjustment, aging, retirement, and medical issues. I work best with individuals who are open to change but may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain, especially those who have experienced broken trust with past providers or systems. Together, we create a safe space to help you regain control, build coping skills, heal from trauma, strengthen relationships, and restore hope and resilience.

My treatment methods

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) an evidence-based approach that supports clients in managing overwhelming emotions, building healthier relationships, and developing mindfulness and distress tolerance skills. This strategy is helpful for clients who struggle with emotion dysregulation, self-harming behaviors, and interpersonal challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. This method emphasizes practical tools such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and exposure therapy to support emotional regulation and lasting behavioral change.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I support my clients using Solution Focused Brief Therapy, a collaborative and goal-oriented approach that helps individuals identify what’s working, set clear goals, and build practical strategies to move forward. I work with clients navigating stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and personal growth. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what’s next, this approach will help you to clarify your direction and take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
