Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m a licensed clinician committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, while also providing clinical and forensic evaluation services. My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe exploring their experiences, emotions, and challenges. I work with clients to build insight, develop practical coping skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and create meaningful, lasting change tailored to their individual goals and needs.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment during their first session. The initial session is an opportunity to get to know one another, discuss what brings them to therapy, explore their goals, and begin understanding their experiences and concerns. We will work together to identify strengths, challenges, and areas of focus while creating a space where clients feel heard, comfortable, and supported as we begin building a path toward meaningful growth and change.
