Often rebooked
I bring both professional and personal experience to my work as a therapist. Having a Bipolar 1 (with psychotic features) diagnosis has given me a unique perspective on the challenges of navigating the institutional and often stigmatized aspects of mental health and the impact on day-to-day life. This lived experience allows me to approach therapy with empathy, a genuine curiosity and appreciation for each client’s journey, while also emphasizing overall holistic living for optimal wellness of mind and body. Professionally, I’ve worked in psychiatric residential treatment, addiction medicine, youth detention and private practice settings. These experiences have strengthened my ability to support clients through a wide range of concerns from mild to severe forms of mental health challenges and their impact on daily living. I integrate a lot of somatic and sensory-based tools focusing on emotion and nervous system regulation, including brainspotting, drumming, sound therapy, aromatherapy, meditation techniques and other mindfulness tools, along with an emphasis on nature therapy, nutrition in relation to mental health and sleep hygiene. Alongside these approaches, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to examine and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen emotion regulation, and collaborate with clients to develop the most applicable coping strategies in those areas. I have extensive experience supporting clients with addictions, complex PTSD/trauma history, ADHD, BPD, bipolar and schizophrenia, among others.

My greatest strengths as a therapist are my authenticity and open-mindedness, which allow me to approach therapy in a collaborative, peer-to-peer manner. I have expertise in sensory and somatic tools and experience with trauma-focused modalities, including brainspotting utilizing hypnotherapy skills. I also integrate sound therapy, aromatherapy, herbal teas and an overall holistic living approach to support mind-body healing, also integrating spirituality for clients who have that interest. My personal and professional experience with holistic practices helps clients reconnect with their intuition and foster sustainable well-being.
I have successfully supported clients with a variety of considerations, including complex PTSD and trauma history, anxiety, depression, addiction, severe psychiatric conditions, anger management, grief and loss, life transitions, holistic wellness, cultural challenges and spirituality, among others. I appreciate working with clients who have a dedication to their mental health and wellness and a willingness to apply the agreed upon strategies discussed in our sessions to reach their desired goals and outcomes in therapy.
Brainspotting
I use brainspotting as a powerful modality to access and process unresolved experiences held in the body and nervous system. My approach integrates binaural beats, sound therapy, and principles of certified hypnotherapy to create a relaxed, focused state where healing can unfold. Sessions emphasize building a clear connection to your own intuition, helping you move beyond limiting patterns and reconnect with inner wisdom. Using the format of brainspotting, we work together to gently target where the mind and body hold tension, opening space for release, clarity and sustained change.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I offer DBT to help clients build mindfulness, emotional regulation, and resilience, while integrating sound therapy and aromatherapy to create a calming, sensory-focused approach that supports healing and balance.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, while emphasizing emotional awareness and a mindful approach to everyday challenges. Together, we work on recognizing and reframing cognitive distortions, building healthier perspectives, and developing practical tools for resilience and emotional well-being.
Integrative
As a holistic therapist, I also work with clients extensively on integrating overall wellness habits and practices into their daily lives, with emphasis on topics such as sleep hygiene, mental health aspects of nutrition, nature therapy and the neuroscience of mindfulness with individually tailored applicability in treatment planning.
