My work reflects a commitment to providing compassionate, person-centered, and trauma-informed care while supporting recovery, promoting stability, and helping individuals make navigate complex behavioral health, medical, and social service systems.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, solution-focused therapy, and evidence-based interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I incorporate foundational DBT skills to help individuals strengthen emotional regulation, develop distress tolerance, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and build mindfulness skills. I strive to create a safe, collaborative, and supportive therapeutic environment that emphasizes individual strengths, resilience, and empowerment while helping clients develop practical coping strategies, increase self-awareness, and work toward meaningful, sustainable change.
During our first session, clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they feel heard, respected, and valued. I prioritize building rapport and establishing a foundation of trust by getting to know each client, understanding their unique experiences, and learning what brings them to therapy.
