Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC), certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I believe that the therapist-client relationship is the foundation of successful treatment. I view therapy as partnership between myself and the client, creating a trusting and supportive relationship. I see therapy through a dielectric lens of accepting yourself without judgement and changing unhealthy and maladaptive behaviors.

My approach to therapy

I am a dialectical behavioral therapist (DBT) and depending on the needs of my client I will also incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (ITP), and person centered therapy. I work with individuals including pre-teens, adolescents, young adults and adults, along with couples. I am also an advocate for LGBTQIA+ individuals and specialize in gender identity.

What you can expect from me

My goal in out first session is to provide a safe and supportive environment where we can work together to identify areas where you would like to see growth, feel empowered, and feel confident. We will work together to identify your goals to build a life worth living.
