It takes courage to address the difficulties in our lives, and finding the right therapist can be challenging. I believe in working together to foster a safe, collaborative relationship to promote self-awareness and growth, encouraging vulnerability and connection while exploring emotions and experiences that might get in your way of fulfillment. As a result of this process, you can feel that you are living a more wholehearted life of engagement and purpose.

I work with a strengths-based perspective (individuals are valued and respected for their ability to survive and adapt), cognitive behavioral therapy (helping change clients' subjective view of themselves and the world), motivational interviewing (exploring and resolving ambivalence, centering on processes within the client to facilitate change), and I am certified in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

I aspire to work collaboratively, centering on your goals and motivation for achieving the life you want to live. I have many years of experience in the mental health arena focusing on substance use, trauma, life transitions, and overall well-being. I work to help you examine your struggles, strengths, visions, values, and hopes to live authentically.
