My website

I help clients explore the question, "What is a life worth living for you?" Through therapy, we work together to navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions that can arise while answering this. These challenges offer opportunities for reflection and personal growth. My goal as a therapist is to support clients in building insight, resilience, and meaningful change—ultimately leading to a life worth living.

I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I’ve worked with diverse populations and diagnoses, focusing on building self-efficacy and teaching practical skills for emotional regulation and lasting change.

I strive to create a safe, supportive space where we can collaborate toward meaningful change. I value learning from each client’s unique journey and believe growth happens through connection and reflection. If you're ready to take the next step, I welcome the opportunity to work together.

I work with clients who are addressing various issues or challenges in their lives. Often times the approach may start with working on the symptoms related depression or anxiety. This can be achieved by establishing competency in newly acquired coping skills and reflecting on previous patterns of thoughts. Ultimately, I aim to assist people in achieving their desired growth and goals.
