If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, feelings of hopelessness or uncontrollable worry and intrusive thoughts, you deserve professional and compassionate care. Through extensive therapeutic work, clinical consultation and training in a variety of outpatient mental health settings, I have experience treating adults and adolescents (15 years and older) with a range of mental health challenges.

My goal is to help you move toward your values and goals. To do this, I use evidence-based treatment approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy while integrating compassion and mindfulness-based techniques, depending on each client's preferences and needs.
With a foundation in strength-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed care, I am dedicated to empowering you to navigate life’s difficulties and create positive changes in your life. Together, we can work to help you feel more aligned with your true self and the life you want to live.
