I am a passionate neurodivergent psychotherapist who provides a supportive, empowering space for individuals. With over 20 years of experience and licensed in multiple states, my practice focuses on treating trauma, eating disorders, men's mental health, anxiety, and mood disorders. You deserve a clinician who uses a trauma-informed, strength-based view with real-life experience and someone passionate about helping clients live an enriched quality of life. Join me on a journey of self-care. You deserve it!
I utilize various therapeutic modalities, including Polyvagal Theory, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychology, and trauma work. My style is client-centered and strengths-based, providing kindness and warmth. I wholeheartedly believe in treating every client with respect, dignity, and compassion.
I tend to live by the adage, "That which does not kill me makes me stronger." If you want a therapist who is truly empathic, genuine, and straightforward, then I am the clinician for you. I welcome the opportunity to work with you on a journey toward optimal mental health and healing. Having a patient, warm therapist can be a part of your self-care.
