I am now accepting NEW clients! I offer counseling to individuals and couples, providing assistance in navigating difficult life events, relationship challenges, mood-related disorders, and postpartum depression or anxiety. My background includes working with a diverse client population who present with wide-ranging diagnosis and clinical complexities. In addition to providing therapy to both adults and children, I have extensive experience working with co-occurring disorders in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I am dedicated to working with my clients on identifying and achieving their goals, whatever those may be!
My therapeutic focus is driven by utilization of various techniques and coping skills stemming from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with an emphasis on mindfulness.
