As a clinician, I work to develop a secure and trusting relationship with clients rooted in transparency and mutual vulnerability. My strengths based perspectives allows one to uncover parts of themselves that may have been lost due to society’s grueling demands. How can you access a deep level of emotion when you’re just trying to keep your head above water today? When you juggle your job, school, children, relationships, etc.; it can be challenging to experience moments of joy. My goal is to encourage you in your journey and make aspects of your present life more manageable.

My treatment approach is foundationally built on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skill building; addressing three major areas: emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. With a combination of processing, identifying thinking patterns, and gaining skills, individuals are often able to achieve a new level of stability and relief.

I work with a variety of clients with complicated issues and their mental health concerns (not limited to): Anxiety/GAD, depression/MDD, LGBTQ+, faith crises, BPD, and substance abuse through individual and couples therapy. I firmly believe that we are not deserving of joy- we are entitled to it as human beings.
