I use evidence-based approaches (CBT and DBT) to help those who struggle with behavioral health concerns.
Extremes in our emotional and psychological states can lead to imbalance, avoidance and mindlessness, and can be related to extremes in other areas of our health, such as eating, activity, and sleep. Eating too much or not fueling our bodies enough, stress or emotional eating-these are ways we cope with or respond to extremes in our thoughts and emotions, and distracts and disonnects us from our life values and goals. I am here to help you reestablish your values and goals by focusing on a more balanced perspective and awareness of your mind, body and behaviors.

Navigating life's constant challenges can be overwhelming - after all, we were never given a playbook for these things. We were never taught a step by step guide for how to manage all of the stressors our world throws at us. Yet, we often expect ourselves to have life figured out, and that just isn't fair. I am passionate about helping my clients learn the tools to navigate the most confusing, difficult, and possibly traumatic times of their life and I believe everyone deserves to feel as though they are the expert in their own mental health journey.

My main treatment modalities include EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Interpersonal Therapy.
Sometimes people just need someone to listen - to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can be themselves. When people are struggling with hopelessness and helplessness, they also need someone to walk alongside them as a guide toward the solutions that work for their individualized struggles and goals. I work with a broad range of clientele, but I have extensive experience in working with the following clinical populations: eating disorders, substance abuse, individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, depression, anxiety, and trauma.
