Great to meet you!

Are you contemplating the notion that "nothing is inherently wrong, so why am I feelings this way?" Are you getting frustrated with repeating the same behaviors that no longer serve you in a beneficial way?

My approach to therapy

I will work alongside you to provide personalized therapy tailored to your goals, using evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and offer techniques to help you develop coping skills, regulate emotions, and build the stamina needed to create the changes you would like to see, in the life that is your own.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—no pressure, no judgment, just a place to talk, be heard, and most importantly be challenged since old patterns are like gum; stubborn to pull off as patterns often feel deeply embedded in our habits, thoughts, and reactions. Self-awareness and assistance with shifting perspectives are key.
