I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has worked across outpatient, residential, and partial hospitalization settings. That range gave me a deep understanding of crisis, complexity, and what teens and families are really up against.
I specialize in DBT with adolescents and also weave in ACT to help clients build a life that feels worth living. I offer individual therapy and DBT skills groups, and I love bringing parents into the process.
Teens are my people and I genuinely love this work. I also have a special place in my heart for the LGBTQIA+ community and am trained in affirming, identity inclusive care.
I specialize in DBT and lean on ACT and CBT to help teens manage big emotions, build stronger relationships, and develop real coping skills. I am also trauma trained. I offer individual therapy, DBT skills groups, and parent consultation. Whether your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or identity, I am here to help.
My specialty includes adolescents and their families. As a particular area of interest, I am passionate about working with clients from the LGBTQIA+ community and am trained in providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative care.
