My website
I specialize in working with adolescent females ages 11–17 (and age 18 if still enrolled in high school) and also enjoy working with adults. I provide treatment for individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, self-harming behaviors, anger management difficulties, trauma, and other life challenges that impact emotional well-being and daily functioning.
As a Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) clinician, I provide DBT-informed individual therapy and facilitate virtual DBT skills groups for both adolescents and adults. In addition to DBT, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-focused interventions, and other modalities.
My therapeutic philosophy is grounded in creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel respected, heard, and empowered. I strive to help individuals build practical skills, increase resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to equip clients with the tools and confidence they need to become independent.

I often use DBT, CBT, and EMDR in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We will look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
