Everyone deserves to be supported, understood, and celebrated during their therapy experience! Seeking help is a brave and important step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. I’m here to create a safe, non-judgmental space for people of all gender expressions and cultures. At Ascend Mind and Body, my goal is to support you in finding more effective ways to manage and create a fulfilling life. I work to create a collaborative and supportive relationships with my clients so they can make positive change. DBT's core principle—that people are doing the best they can and people want to improve—guides my approach.
I specialize in treating anxiety disorders (GAD, OCD, specific phobias, and social anxiety), depression, emotional dysregulation and mood disorders. I have been extensively trained in evidence-based treatments including CBT, ERP, and DBT. More than talk therapy, I balance using a direct and compassionate therapy style.
Whether you’re dealing with persistent worries, intrusive thoughts, intense fears, or social discomfort, I am here to help you navigate these challenges. Let’s work together to turn your goals into reality and make meaningful changes in your life. Reach out today to start your journey towards greater well-being. I look forward to working with you!
