I am available through telehealth and see adolescent, teen and adult clients between 7am and 7pm Monday through Wednesday and 7am to 12pm on Thursday.
In my therapeutic practice I seek to motivate clients to build the brain they want rather than feeling stuck with the one they have. By harnessing the power of cognitive restructuring, we can excel at tackling complex issues like dealing with stress, managing emotions, changing habits, controlling impulses and navigating complicated relationships in the same way that we would get better at any other skill; through dedication and practice! I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques and skills to help clients set and achieve their own therapeutic goals and try to instil a sense of hopefulness and resolve in every session.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit for your individual needs can feel overwhelming.

Whether you're a teen, adult, or caregiver, we’ll determine the best path forward—together.
In my work with adolescents, young adults, and their caregivers, I take a solution-focused approach rooted in hope and forward movement.

I pay close attention to previous successes—no matter how big or small—and help uncover the inner motivation needed to keep moving forward. It's never too early, or too late, to start planning for the kind of life you want to live.
