Welcome! I believe in you. I believe in your capacity to dig deep, challenge yourself to reach your highest potential, build new skills, and ultimately to heal. I also believe that a strong clinical rapport is the foundation upon which healing occurs and that you need practical skills to initiate behavior changes that are critical to taking ownership of your healing. As a clinician, I am curious, investigative, compassionate, an advocate, empowering, trust-building, and pragmatic. I am passionate about combining CBT, DBT, and other mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches to help you meet your goals.
I earned a MSW in 2014 from California State University, Chico, and I have over eight years of experience as a therapist, working with adults in prevention, outpatient, and intensive outpatient clinical settings. I have special training in treating individuals aged 60 and older and the unique challenges that aging individuals encounter.
I believe deeply in the inherent strengths and capacities of each person I encounter and the importance of eliciting those strengths while doing the hard work of addressing treatment goals. I bring the qualities of accurate empathy and gentle challenging to the therapeutic space to help you feel safe and well understood. I look forward to supporting you.
