Great to meet you!

I am passionate about creating a warm, safe, and inclusive atmosphere for all persons. I empower individuals to feel seen and freely express themselves throughout our work together. In my clinical work, I collaborate with clients to identify their personal goals and strengths, deepen insight, and navigate various life experiences. With all clients, I aim to cultivate acceptance and self-compassion. My hope is for all clients, including those who have endured trauma, to feel safe in their body and supported in their experience. I am patient, humble, and continuously inspired by the opportunity to sit with others on their journey. My specialties include supporting children, adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, personality disorders, eating disorders, ADHD, OCD, gender and identity concerns, and relationship stressors.

My approach to therapy

I am intent on providing competent practices, with multicultural considerations, in order to meet the needs of diverse client populations. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT skills, mindfulness techniques, person-centered therapy. I emphasize the mind-body connection in my work to deepen awareness of one's body and their somatic experience.
