About me

I am a dual-licensed clinician committed to supporting individuals in achieving their personal and therapeutic goals. My approach to therapy is collaborative, focusing on enhancing clients’ existing strengths while cultivating new skills to more effectively manage life’s challenges. Drawing from a diverse range of evidence-based clinical modalities, I aim to promote increased self-awareness, emotional resilience, strong self-worth, and sustainable personal growth.

Get to know me

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

During the initial appointment, patients can expect a comprehensive clinical assessment that includes questions about their current functioning, symptoms, personal history, and other relevant areas. This process is designed to inform the development of an individualized treatment plan. In addition to a thorough evaluation, patients can also expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they are welcomed just as they are.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths as a clinician include empathy, authenticity, collaboration, honesty, and compassion. I strive to be informative and goal-oriented, working alongside clients to support meaningful and lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work most effectively with clients who are motivated to pursue meaningful change and are committed to their personal growth. I am particularly attuned to individuals who are ready to engage in thoughtful self-exploration with curiosity, courage, and authenticity—those who are open to vulnerability and willing to trust themselves as they navigate the healing process.

My treatment methods

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

I often incorporate Emotionally Focused Therapy to help individuals and couples explore the emotional patterns that shape their relationships. EFT provides a powerful framework for understanding emotional responses and reconnecting with one's core needs, especially in moments of distress or disconnection.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I support clients in identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns—particularly those that contribute to anxiety, depression, or self-doubt. CBT is a highly effective, evidence-based approach for developing healthier perspectives and strengthening emotional resilience.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

For clients seeking to better manage intense emotions or navigate daily stressors, I offer DBT techniques focused on building emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach is especially useful for those who feel overwhelmed or struggle with impulsivity or self-criticism.

Psychoanalytic

With 7 years of experience in psychoanalytic therapy, I work with clients to uncover unconscious patterns and unresolved conflicts that may be influencing their current relationships and emotional life. This deeper exploration often leads to greater self-awareness, clarity, and personal growth
