You only get to live your life once, and I believe that it should be one that you feel is 100% worth living for. This simple thought guides my approach to therapy. Pain and suffering are part of the human experience, and while we may not be able to avoid these all the time, we can surely build a meaningful life around these things. A life that has purpose, direction, and is guided by your deeply held values. I'll work with you to discover ways to reduce your overall suffering, align with personal values, learn healthy ways to cope with pain, and create a life that feels abundantly worth living for every day.
I can provide treatment for a range of mental health and substance use disorders. I have both training and experience in providing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am passionate about the skills and concepts in these approaches, and utilize them regularly in my own life.
You can expect a warm, empathetic space, that invites you to come as you are. I aim to cultivate an environment that feels both open and compassionate, so that you feel safe to share any emotions that may be burdened within you. I will always balance this with honest, direct, and solution focused feedback that paves the way for creating change in your life
