I work with children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, behavioral challenges, and everyday stress that can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re a parent seeking support for your child, a teen trying to better understand your emotions, or an adult looking for more balance, I aim to meet you where you are. My approach is collaborative and individualized. I often draw from a range of evidence-based methods—including CBT, DBT, ACT, exposure therapy, and motivational interviewing—but what matters most is finding what works best for you.
I take the time to understand each client first, and then tailor the approach to fit your needs, goals, and personality. My style is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you build tools you can use in your daily life—whether that’s managing anxiety, improving emotional regulation, or creating more confidence and structure in your routines.
I create a space that feels comfortable, approachable, and judgment-free, where you can make meaningful progress at your own pace. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning to it, I’m here to support you in taking that next step.

Typically speaking, my therapeutic model involves Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), however, I use a collaborative method, which means I base my therapeutic work off of the client's needs, rather than turning therapy into a "cookie cutter" environment.

I often use a collaboration of therapeutic methods to work with the needs of each individual I meet. Whether it be CBT, DBT, ACT, Exposure Therapy, Supportive Therapy, Strength-based Motivational Interviewing, etc., I try to work closely with the needs of the client, learn them, and only then, begin to focus on a methodology that works best for the client.
