Finding a therapist can be overwhelming. I have an extensive background working with individuals who are navigating symptoms of complex trauma, anxiety and depression. I have experience with supporting individuals around managing suicidal ideation and healing from ruptures in attachments. I utilize evidenced based practices to help you explore your thoughts, behaviors and gain valuable insights into patterns to impact positive change. My approach is client centered and I work with children, adolescents, adults and families.

I’ll help you navigate your inner world, enhance coping strategies, cultivate self-awareness and foster healthy relationships to become more resilient in the face of life’s stressors. I utilize an integrative approach in my practice, which includes CBT, DBT, strengths based, motivational interviewing and talk therapy.

I provide individual and family therapy to my clients, in-person or via telehealth. Establishing a secure and trusting relationship with your therapist is essential to your healing process. I encourage you to explore my profile and set up a 15 min introduction call to see if I can meet your needs. I look forward to connecting!

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 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. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
