Are you exhausted from feeling like you're just trying to get through each day? With the right support, it is possible to move beyond surviving and begin creating a life worth living. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and nationally certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) therapist, I help individuals build practical skills to regulate emotions, navigate life's challenges, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change while balancing acceptance, growth, and a life aligned with your values.
I work with individuals and couples experiencing suicidal thoughts, self-harm, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and women's issues. I provide an affirming, inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ individuals and those exploring gender identity.
I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. My approach is warm, collaborative, compassionate, and nonjudgmental while offering gentle structure and honest feedback. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or ready for change, I'd be honored to help you build a life worth living.
