Managed by Geode Health. Your call or email may go to a representative.
My focus is to provide a safe, authentic, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported in their healing journey. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, psychotic disorders, emotional abuse, and stress-related challenges. I also have experience supporting veterans and understand the importance of providing compassionate care that honors each person’s unique experiences and background.
My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help clients strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
I believe meaningful progress begins with trust and connection, and I strive to empower clients with practical tools, insight, and support that promote long-term stability, resilience, and personal growth.
