Great to meet you!

With over two decades of experience in the mental health field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to my practice. My career has encompassed direct clinical work, administrative and supervisory positions, consulting and teaching. I believe in a holistic, strengths-based approach to therapy, ensuring that each client receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs.

My approach to therapy

My training in evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) allows me to provide effective treatment with lasting results.

What you can expect from me

I believe therapy is an opportunity for growth, healing, and personal transformation. My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and focused on practical solutions that empower you to move forward with confidence. I believe in the power of collaboration and the innate capacity within each person to not only survive, but thrive. Together, we’ll uncover your inherent strengths, build resilience, and take practical steps toward achieving your goals with confidence and clarity.
