I am a skilled licensed (LMHC) psychotherapist with experience in helping individuals achieve their wellness goals. I believe that therapy works best when there is a collaboration between therapist and client. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is inclusive, accepting, and safe, where you can explore important issues, process your concerns, and gain insight into your values and behaviors.

I have received professional training in mindfulness-based therapies with person-centered treatment methods: advanced training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with an interest in Compassion Therapy.

Yung Peublo said it best, “It is not easy, healing yourself, transforming your mind, and building new habits...This is work that takes effort, but when you continue trying it creates significant results that have an immensely positive impact on your life.”

I strive to balance validation with change. Validation is great (we all need it), and you are here for growth and change.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a more directive form of therapy, meaning the therapist takes an active role in guiding sessions, teaching specific coping skills, and providing clear structure.

While there is structure, the flow is flexible and YOU guide the way.

DBT focuses on helping clients build practical tools for managing emotions, navigating relationships, and tolerating distress, while offering direct feedback, support, and strategies to foster meaningful change.

I hope to create a supportive, inclusive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe to explore your concerns, develop coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

My goal is to help you gain insight into your thoughts, behaviors, and values while fostering self-compassion and mindfulness.

I hope that you leave our sessions feeling supported and with tools for navigating life’s challenges with greater resilience.
