As a licensed therapist, I bring a compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered approach to my work. With a strong background in serving diverse populations, I have experience supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges including homelessness, mental health and substance use (dual diagnosis), and the unique stressors faced by college students. My clinical work has been shaped by years of direct service in community-based settings, shelters, and college counseling centers. Throughout all of these unique populations I have found that people can build resilience, heal, and work towards their goals.
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start? You’re not alone. Together, we can work toward clarity, healing, and change. I use an eclectic approach when working with clients to help address the complexities that life contains. While I tend to utilize an approach that focuses on CBT and DBT, my clinical scope is flexible.
I understand how daunting the journey towards wellness can be. By working together, my hope is to provide you with the tools necessary to make that path more clear. The most important thing to me for this work and during the therapeutic process is to provide an environment of safety, compassion and also a little humor for those I work with.

In our work together, I primarily use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address a range of mental health concerns. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, while DBT focuses on building skills in emotion regulation, and distress tolerance.
