I have many years of experience helping individuals, families, and couples find balance. My style has been described as collaborative, warm, and non-judgmental. I approach every individual's unique needs by providing a client centered environment to explore the past, understand the present, and prepare for the future.

I bring a positive and strength-based approach to therapy assisting clients with addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship obstacles. I offer evidenced based treatment interventions rooted in CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Person-centered psychotherapy.

I believe in a collaborative approach tailored to your individual experiences. If you seek support as an individual, couple or family it would be my pleasure to help.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
EMDR

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
