Welcome! I have been in private practice for 4 years, following clinical experience in both in-patient and outpatient substance abuse and dual-diagnosis treatment. I work with individuals and couples, and a significant focus of my practice is work with teens and young adults. I so look forward to meeting you!
I believe that the therapeutic environment is one that is safe, non-judgmental, and affirming. My approach is guided by a goal of treating the whole person, rather than a collection of symptoms. I aim to prioritize both warmth and emotional safety with practical tools and techniques routed in cognitive and behavioral therapies.
I strive to encourage awareness of the ways in which our thoughts can influence the ways we think and behave, and to explore ways to restructure beliefs about ourselves and the world that lead to suffering. My goal is to help you cultivate and enhance self-confidence, access tools for coping with acute distress and/or day to day stress, and ultimately build a life worth living.
