Welcome. As a therapist and case manager I've worked with people from all walks of life. I've supported them with many different issues as a therapist and with getting connected with additional services to address barriers and challenges to living their best life. I consider myself to be a DBT therapist with an additional strong focus on OCD and addiction, yet I often find that for so many people, these behavior patterns often exist only as a part of maladaptive thought and behavior patterns. People often need support to not only address the addiction, OCD, etc, but also these thought patterns and behaviors that orbit it.

Everyone has a unique story that shapes who they are today. Many people struggle internally with fear, shame, or doubt, which blocks us from understanding ourselves, making it difficult to connect with others. My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and respectful of each person's journey. Healing starts by developing an honest, genuine relationship with another person where you can feel truly heard, seen, and understood. I strive to provide a safe space for exploring your issues and challenges without judgment so that we can find meaning and purpose in your life experiences from which you can gain perspective.

With over 25 years experience as a therapist, I understand the importance of finding a welcoming space for therapy. Often people cope with stress in ways that can cause long-term problems.

On the outside, you are capable, responsible, and high-functioning. On the inside, you might feel anxious, self-critical, or stuck — unsure how to quiet your mind or move forward. Maybe your thoughts rarely slow down. You second-guess yourself, anticipate the worst, or feel constant pressure to get it “right.” If you’ve experienced trauma, painful memories or negative beliefs about yourself or others may still shape how safe, confident, or in control you feel. You’ve learned to push through, but it’s exhausting. Psychotherapy offers another way.

Professionally, I approach counseling as an ally and assistant to my clients throughout their counseling journey. I believe "change" is defined by the individual and that everyone has the potential to grow when empowered to do so. We all experience some form of stress, grief, hopelessness, or fear, and the idea that we must shoulder the weight of these emotions alone is counterintuitive to who we are as humans. My goal is to provide you with strong support and tools to manage whatever struggles you may be working through at your own pace while creating a relaxed and collaborative environment for all cultures and identities.
