Finding balance in this unpredictable world can sometimes seem unachievable. Together, we can find a balance that best fits you. Our fast-pace and demanding society makes limited time for personal issues or difficult life events, causing a detriment to our mental health and wellbeing. With an integrated approach, we can target your health from all angles including mind, body, and spirit. My goal for therapy is teaching you the skills needed to find your balance so you can flourish in your daily life. Whatever your journey, I will help you implement knowledge and tools to overcome barriers of the past, present, and future.

You already checked to make sure your front door was locked, and now you’re going to check again. It’s always the same struggle; an intrusive idea takes root and refuses to let go. From there, it spirals out of control, multiplying into countless variations and scenarios. You know that logically it doesn’t make any sense, but you can’t help yourself. "What's wrong with me?" you keep wondering. You’re constantly trapped in a cycle of distressing thoughts, compelled to engage in repetitive behaviors or safety measures. It's a constant battle, and you long for a life free from the grip of these obsessions and compulsions.

Deciding to look for a therapist let alone beginning therapy can be a daunting task for many. We’re told that our mental health isn’t a priority, that we shouldn’t be weak and that we should ‘stop being sad’ or ‘get over it’ with such great advice from family and friends alike no wonder our issues and stresses seem to only get worse. More often than not we seek therapy because the people in our lives refuse to go to therapy. If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma or have thought to yourself that it is time that I took care of my mental health, then you are not alone.

As a Certified DBT therapist with over 14 years of experience, I specialize in treating complex and often misunderstood conditions — including BPD, OCD, and PTSD. These are concerns that benefit most from evidence-based treatments like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Prolonged Exposure (PE). For challenges like these, a mismatched approach can make matters worse. I bring a ND-affirming lens to the evidence-based interventions I use, understanding that your specific neurotype is an integral part of who you are. And my lived experience allows me to validate you on a deeper level.

Are you interested in personal and relationship growth? Or simply need a reset after a trauma? Do you have a question about sexual health that you aren't sure how to ask? I work with individuals, partners, and couples developing their own unique individual identities as well as finding a balance between connection with others and a connection with themselves. A strong sense of self enables us to set appropriate boundaries with those we love.
