Do you find yourself overwhelmed by intense emotions, feeling numb, constantly worrying about the smallest things, or never quite feeling like you belong? Maybe imagining the future feels unbearable, and sometimes you want to escape the mental pain. If you’re struggling with thoughts of self-harm or suicide, you are not alone; your pain is real. You also might be exploring what it means to be neurodivergent, living with chronic illness or a disability, or facing challenges like anxiety, OCD, trauma, or big life changes. I help people like you find balance between acceptance and change, building skills to create a life worth living.
My goal is to provide a safe and validating space where we can work together to better understand your needs, build insight, and identify strategies that help you move toward the life you want to live. I take a collaborative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach, tailoring therapy to each client’s unique experiences and goals.
I would love to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call to connect, answer your questions, and see if we might be a good fit to work together.

I am part of the Three Oaks full-model DBT team. I enjoy not only integrating DBT skills into sessions, but I also find that it offers helpful handouts and structure to therapy, which clients find beneficial. When working on phobias or OCD, I use Exposure Response Prevention and the Unified Protocol and collaborate with the client to gradually overcome fear in a safe and supportive way.
