Choosing the therapist who is right for you is a big decision! I know that life has a way of presenting unexpected challenges - mentally and physically. Maybe you are trying to manage one or a series of challenges that have piled up. The truth is that sometimes we need help to identify our challenges, make sense of them, and overcome them. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel comfortable. Utilizing compassionate listening, mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance skills - we can work together to develop a deeper sense of peace, improved self awareness, and a greater ability to manage strong emotions.
My approach is developmental, holistic and eclectic as I employ DBT, CBT, solution focused, art and play therapies. Whether you are four or 104, I welcome you to be yourself and share your story.
I am an experienced and empathetic listener -here to help you recognize some of the patterns that are holding you back, facilitate a non-judgmental environment, and support you. Life can get better! You don't have to go through this next growth phase of your life alone. I'm here to walk alongside you with care, connection, and intention.

When emotions begin taking over clients' lives, I work with them to regain control. As I get to know them, I listen carefully to discover areas wherein clients may have thoughts that are unhelpful. Simultaneously, we practice skills that can help them experience physical relief and an overall improved state of calm.
