Great to meet you!

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE), and I tailor these evidence-based approaches to meet your unique needs and goals. Whether you're navigating everyday challenges or working through more complex experiences, my focus is on helping you build meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I believe the best client relationships are built on trust, compassion, and clear communication. I'm committed to creating a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your personal history, your current concerns, and what you hope to achieve. I'll also answer any questions you have about the therapy process and work with you to develop an initial plan that feels supportive and aligned with your goals. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace.
