Welcome! Many people who find their way to my profile are in search of relief. Some are seeking peace in a life dominated by big and difficult-to-control emotions. Others hope to free themselves from a seemingly never-ending battle with sadness or worry thoughts. Some just want to sleep or learn to live without the weight of past traumatic events. Regardless of the specific reason for your visit here, you are undoubtedly on a path to reduce your suffering and maximize your fulfillment in this one precious life.
It's been my life's work to marry the art of healing and the power of science to help clients achieve fulfillment. I was trained at esteemed institutions including the University of Colorado Boulder, Duke University Medical Center, the Portland DBT Institute, and CBT California where I learned to utilize powerful interventions like CBT and full model DBT.
Choosing the right therapist can be confusing and anxiety-provoking for anyone, yet it is such an important decision! I invite you to reach out to me with any questions that you may have. As cliche as it sounds, the first step is usually the hardest - and you've already taken it by finding this page. Regardless of where you land, I hope you land well!
