Great to meet you!

It is never easy to be vulnerable to another, let alone, allow someone into your world. Forman once said, “It is an act of bravery to feel your feelings.” I hold this statement to be true. As your therapist, it is my hope to be able to develop a therapeutic alliance with you to walk the journey of exploring and overcoming whatever challenges and obstacles you may be facing.

My approach to therapy

By implementing several different types of clinical modalities including CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic therapies, it is my goal to be able to meet you where you’re at and serve you the best way possible. I chose this profession to serve others in their pursuit of optimal quality of life and their commitment to the development of their full potential.

What you can expect from me

It is my desire to foster an environment of acceptance that is both safe and welcoming so that you can explore your inner depths. In doing so, you will be surrounded with empathetic listening, positive regard and welcomed into a judgement free zone. Utilizing an extensive approach, I understand that your journey is different which is why I utilize both CBT and DBT amongst other psychodynamic modalities, to create an individualized approach in working with you.
