My ideal clients are adolescents transitioning into adulthood through older adults who are navigating substance use challenges, trauma histories, and mild to moderate depressive symptoms. They often experience recurring crises, difficulty with independent living skills, and unresolved trauma that impacts daily functioning and relationships. They need a safe, consistent, and trauma-informed therapeutic space that supports emotional regulation, stability, skill-building, and healing. Their goals include reducing substance use, processing trauma, strengthening coping and life skills, and improving mood.
I help by providing a trauma-informed, collaborative approach to therapy that honors each client’s lived experience and recognizes them as the expert in their own life. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping skills, and improve emotional regulation and functioning.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or tired of managing everything on your own, you don’t have to do this alone. I offer a supportive, respectful space to help you heal, build skills, and move toward stability—reach out when you’re ready.

Treatment for body image issues, anxiety, and personality disorders is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed care and begins with an assessment to guide treatment planning. A strong therapeutic alliance is then established to gain deeper clinical context and inform care.

I commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and EMDR in my practice. We will explore what brought you to therapy and collaboratively determine the most appropriate interventions to support progress. Through CBT, we examine how thought patterns influence emotions and experiences, and treatment focuses on developing skills to challenge negative beliefs.
