NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING REFERRALS FOR COUPLES THERAPY.

With 14 years of clinical practice, I’ve navigated the most challenging landscapes of mental health—from the intensity of crisis management and hospitalization to the complexities of substance use disorders. I am thrilled to bring that depth of experience into our therapeutic alliance, offering you a steady hand and a wealth of knowledge. Whether you are an individual (21+) ready for change or a family or couple seeking to reconnect, I am here to help you turn resilience into a way of life.

My approach to therapy

Fundamentally, I employ cognitive behavioral therapy. I am also knowledgeable in DBT, ACT, IFS, and IPSRT. I encourage a humanistic approach.

What you can expect from me

The first session is like that moment when you snuggle into your sofa after a long day. There are no expectations except to "just be".
