One of my prior clients told me, "Thank you for walking with me in the dark, and not being afraid of what we will find."

My therapeutic approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief
Therapy (SFBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), as well as Gottman Relationship
Method (Level 1). However, I believe that effective therapy begins with a genuine,
person-to-person connection—one that builds trust, fosters open communication, and creates a
sense of safety and mutual respect. My goal is to create a space where clients feel truly seen
and valued, and I occasionally use humor to support meaningful therapeutic work that fosters
long-lasting growth and change.

I have worked in a variety of communities and settings throughout my career including schools, medical placements, adult protective services, conservators office, and crisis residential. My focus throughout my career has been working in the area of Mental Health.
In 2020 I focused on private practice therapy and found that this area of work is where I belong. I love working with others one on one in a supportive and compassionate setting. I have worked with clients who come looking for support with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, and codependency.

When we experience severe trauma or life stressors, our lives can start to collapse into a day-to-day struggle. Our normal coping mechanisms and our support systems can start to fail or no longer be enough to help pull us through the difficult time. The truth is, we cannot change our life experiences, but we can search to find solutions to help us overcome depression, addiction, anxiety, relationship difficulties. We can grow and become aware of our own strengths as we face our struggles. Sometimes we need that extra help to aid us in regaining life balance in our journey of self-discovery.
As a licensed family therapist with eight years of experience, I am passionate about helping adults navigate & explore complex challenges in order to work towards positive changes that are solution based.
