My goal is to make self-growth and change something feasible to commit to (even when you simultaneously feel stuck or fearful in the process). With a collaborative, person-centered approach I am here to help you navigate life’s challenges while also honoring our humanness. I will help you explore solutions for change and provide tools to help recognize the situations that are outside of your control. I have a passion for working with those struggling with mood regulation, substance abuse, emotional intensity, codependency, and destructive internal or external behaviors. Strong emphasis on DBT and CPT, as well as MI techniques.
I appreciate (not shame!) the coping strategies that have kept you afloat until today. However, just because it works, doesn’t mean it’s working. You will quickly notice my emphasis on learning and engaging in the skills that lead to emotional serenity and a life worth living. YOU are the expert in your own life - my role is to help you master it.
My clients would tell you that I’m a go-with-the-flow, non-judgmental, and genuine type of person. Some might even say I’m funny - I don’t think they’re wrong. I am committed to fostering a safe and motivating environment for you to grow. Feel free to email me for waitlist inquiry.

I help those who are overwhelmed by their feelings, past traumas, or unhelpful/destructive ways. With a roadmap that feels doable and tailored to your pace, you'll learn to master emotional-dysregulation while challenging beliefs that keep you stuck in self-blame or fear. Over time many clients describe feeling steadier, more empowered, and capable of responding to life rather than reacting to it.

I primarily use DBT and CPT to help manage emotions, heal from trauma, and change unwanted patterns. My approach tends to balance skill acquisition with honest reflection, creating a space that's challenging yet supportive. I'm focused on helping you better understand yourself so that you may live with greater stability, confidence, and self-trust, responding more effectively to life's challenges.
