I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and solution- and trauma-focused approaches, incorporating skills such as mindfulness, reframing, emotional regulation, and mood tracking.
Together, we identify triggers for distress, explore how past experiences influence the present, strengthen emotional regulation, uncover relationship dynamics, and examine behavioral patterns. After understanding the purpose and function of the patterns, we develop and implement practical skills to manage or reduce the impact of anxiety, depression, betrayal, grief, trauma, bipolar disorder and challenges related to identity, roles/responsibilities, impulsivity, addictive behaviors, relationships, and transitions. I take a holistic, developmentally informed approach, addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

I see therapy not just as a form of a treatment but also as a gift we give to ourselves. Through therapy, we explore our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and our relationship with others, including work and society. These explorations can be done alone but is more effective with a therapist, who can see patterns, themes, options, and solutions that we often overlook ourselves. Your relationship with me is a safe space to explore, to understand, to connect, and ultimately, to heal. Together, we will use evidence based therapeutic methods to develop healthy relationships with ourselves and with others.

Currently accepting patients for Telehealth sessions and remote EMDR. I've been blessed to be able to work in this field for over the last 27 years, 18 as a psychotherapist.

I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in repeating conflict, emotional shutdown, or ongoing uncertainty about their relationships. Many of my clients are high-functioning and capable in work or school but struggle with anxiety, grief, overthinking, pressure to perform, or difficulty expressing what they actually need. I also work with people navigating identity questions, non-traditional relationship structures, and major life or relationship decisions. I work from an affirming, trauma-informed, non-pathologizing lens and recognize how social and cultural factors impact mental health and relationships.

We all need a safe space to feel heard and share our stories. Therapy can give you that safe space to talk through your experiences, including those that might be uncomfortable. If you feel stuck due to childhood or recent traumatic events, life transitions, or other stressors, know that there is a path forward. My role is to guide you towards making positive life changes and discovering the best version of you. I will help you learn and practice evidence-based skills to develop a strong and healthy sense of self, explore your feelings, find meaning, and focus on your strengths.
