I draw most heavily from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Jungian Analytical Psychology, Person-Centered Theory, and Existential Theory.
I believe most problems stem from traumas of varying degrees. Awareness of how trauma impacts the mind and body allows it to be healed rather than avoided or channeled into destructive behaviors. I have experience working with trauma, eating disorders, mood disorders, addiction, personality disorders, grief and loss, and life transitions.

Noam Shpancer, once stated, “Mental health is not a destination, it’s a journey. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.” As humans, we are all on our own mental health journey, though some may experience more hills, curves, and bumps in the road than others. Whether overcoming poverty, battling substance use, trauma, anxiety, or depression and despair, you are not alone. With deep knowledge of the human psyche, a keen awareness of societal pressures throughout the lifespan, and a strong heart for helping others, I would be honored to guide you throughout your mental health journey.

Life's challenges are tough! Are you struggling with traumatic memories, relationship problems, anxiety or depression? Maybe everyday stress has you just not feeling your best?

Many people hesitate to seek counseling for their problems, and we all want to think of ourselves as self sufficient, but everyone needs help from time to time. My goal is to work collaboratively with my clients to help them understand themselves and how they relate to other people.
