(she/her)
I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and empowering. Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and easy to talk to. I work with adults who want to better understand their emotions, patterns, and relationships, and I focus on helping clients build skills they can actually use in daily life. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start—just a willingness to show up.
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and helping you feel comfortable. I’ll ask questions about what’s bringing you to therapy, your history, and what you hope to get out of our work together. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. I’ll also explain how I work and answer any questions you have so we can decide together how to move forward.
My approach is trauma informed, warm, relational, and goal-oriented. I integrate CBT, Mindfulness , and DBT techniques to help clients build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and improve emotional balance. I value collaboration and transparency, and I work to empower clients by helping them better understand themselves and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.
My ideal client is an adolescent or adult between the ages of 16 and 65 who is seeking support for challenges such as anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, relationship difficulties, stress, trauma, or personality-related concerns. They may feel overwhelmed by their emotions, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or unsure of how to move forward, but they are motivated to better understand themselves and create meaningful, lasting change. I enjoy working with individuals who are open to self-reflection and willing to actively participate in the therapeutic process by practicing new skills both in and outside of sessions. My therapeutic approach is grounded in a person-centered framework while integrating evidence-based interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe, heard, and respected. At the same time, I believe therapy should provide practical tools and strategies that clients can apply to their everyday lives. Together, we work to identify unhelpful thought patterns, improve emotional regulation, strengthen coping skills, develop healthier relationships, and build resilience in the face of life’s challenges. I am passionate about empowering clients to recognize their strengths, increase self-awareness, and develop confidence in their ability to navigate difficult situations. I value a collaborative therapeutic relationship where goals are established together and progress is regularly reviewed. Whether someone is navigating a significant life transition, managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, healing from past experiences, or working toward healthier relationships, I aim to provide compassionate guidance while encouraging growth and accountability. My goal is to help each client feel understood, supported, and equipped with the skills they need to create a more balanced, fulfilling, and meaningful life.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been working with clients using a CBT approach for five years, both in person and through Telehealth. In sessions, I use psychoeducation, real-life examples, and guided practice to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, challenge cognitive distortions, and develop more balanced perspectives. I also incorporate behavioral strategies, coping skills, and between-session practice to help clients apply what they learn in therapy to everyday life. My goal is to make CBT approachable, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have been working with clients using a DBT-informed approach for five years, both in person and through Telehealth. In sessions, I use psychoeducation, real-life examples, and guided practice to help clients strengthen skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. I also incorporate validation, behavioral strategies, and between-session practice to help clients apply what they learn in therapy to everyday life. My goal is to make DBT approachable, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.
Gottman method
I have been working with couples using a Gottman-informed approach, both in person and through Telehealth. In sessions, I use psychoeducation, real-life examples, and guided practice to help partners better understand their relationship dynamics and develop skills in communication, conflict management, emotional attunement, and repair. I also incorporate assessment, validation, and between-session practice to help couples apply what they learn in therapy to their everyday interactions. My goal is to make the process approachable, collaborative, and tailored to each couple’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals.
