Not matter what brings you to therapy, I deeply believe everyone is capable of growth and change. If you are looking to be the best version of yourself, we can take that journey together. I specialize in helping clients struggling with anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, or past trauma. My style is warm, affirming, & solution focused. During your first session we will discuss what brought you to therapy and your expectations and goals. We will then work together to form a roadmap to meet those goals.

I utilize a collaborative approach that integrates evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with a person-centered orientation. These techniques will help challenge your existing beliefs in safe and supportive space and will help you to learn strategies to live your best life.

Starting therapy can be hard and takes a lot of courage. If you are interested taking that step & think we could work well together, please reach out to me by phone or email to schedule an appointment or book directly with the link on my website. I also offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you decide if working together is right for you.
