I believe finding a therapist that you feel you can connect with is the most important part of starting the therapeutic process. I also understand that it is somewhat of a daunting task to find a therapist that you believe will be non-judgmental, trustworthy, and provide a sense of understanding and compassion. How do you trust that out of all the countless searches, web pages, or recommendations, that you can find a therapist who is honest, compassionate, and will be a good fit for either yourself or someone you love?
I've been lucky enough to have gained a wide range of experiences and I believe this has allowed me to be comfortable with a variety of demographics/concerns. I've been fortunate to have worked in multiple treatment settings that treat for trauma, eating disorders, mental health, personality disorders, family of origin issues, and substance use disorders.
I'd like to think that I'm able to best serve those struggling with self-worth, trauma, personality disorders, anger, depression, anxiety, and substance use. My main goal is for us to develop a therapeutic relationship that is honest, non-judgmental, trusting, and helpful. If you believe that I can help you or a loved one, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I believe I work best with individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, personality disorders, and anger. Oftentimes, these 3 areas show up as oppositional or defiant behaviors in young adults or adolescents. I believe I specialize most in emotional regulation and trauma work.

I use a combination of CBT with mindfulness and emotional regulation. This along with elements of EMDR and exploring beliefs of self, the world, and others allows us to collaborate on understanding on a lot of the "whys and hows" of maladaptive behaviors. These approaches allows us to understanding why you may have certain believes or behaviors and patterns.
