Here to Help You Heal
Whether you’re continuing your mental health journey and looking for a fresh perspective, or you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, I’m here for you. As an LMSW and LCSW Supervisee, I bring my background in schools and community outreach to help youth and adults navigate life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, co-occurring disorders, stress, self-esteem issues, and complex trauma. Together, we’ll work to create a fulfilling life that is meaningful and true to your values.
My Approach to Care
I enjoy learning and growing alongside my patients every day, and believe that every person possesses the same capacity for growth and change. By embracing your unique strengths and abilities, we can work together to overcome challenges and build skills for a better life.
I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which help you understand your values and live in a way that feels authentic to you. Aspects of narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic therapy round out an approach that is holistic, intersectional, and centered on you. I’m passionate about helping patients show up as their most authentic selves by creating sustainable change and breaking free from shame or guilt.
Because I use an integrative approach, the therapy environment is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, so you feel safe and supported in your most vulnerable moments. Whether you need practical skills and support to achieve your goals or want a better understanding of your own thoughts and behaviors, my focus is to empower you to be the best version of yourself. In our work together, I look forward to getting to know you and reframing your story.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My journey to becoming a therapist started in public schools, where I worked with children and families as they navigated the transition into the learning environment for the first time. Since then, I have had the benefit of working with individuals and families from a wide variety of backgrounds as they navigate life’s highs and lows. My own experiences with mental health inform my practice, allowing me to lead with compassion and empathy in every session.
Personal Interests
When I’m not at the office, I am an avid reader and artist who enjoys crocheting, illustration, and crafting, and am always looking forward to trying something new! Cooking is another love of mine, and I spend quality time with my family and friends by going thrifting, trying new restaurants, or even just sitting and binge-watching TV.
