I specialize in juvenile females aged 11-17 (18 if still in high school), but also enjoy working with adults. I work with anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harming behaviors, anger management, and a variety of other concerns that come with life. I incorporate a variety of modalities to create a treatment plan specific to your needs. I work closely with persons considered at risk to themselves or others, along with unhealthy sexualized behaviors in teens and adults to ensure a healthy, legal, and safe life.

I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and facilitate a group for adolescents and adults (virtually). I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), and Trauma Focused Therapy to ensure the best quality of treatment for you.

I live under an umbrella of legal and healthy. My job is to work myself out of a job and to assist you in becoming the best version of yourself. I am honored when a client allows me the privilege of being a witness to their life and entrusting me with their deepest struggles and secrets. I will help anyone whether it is in treatment with me or not.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

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.
