Great to meet you!

I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 2018 and have worked in a variety of settings including private practice, inpatient mental health and residential treatment facilities. I am extensively trained in the Gottman method and specialize in couples therapy. I am also highly trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, CBT and EMDR.

My approach to therapy

I view therapy as my passion, not just my practice. While I have worked hard to establish my professional career as a therapist, it is the clients who teach me the most about the therapy process! Clients have told me they appreciate my authenticity and relatability, and I often use humor and pop culture references when appropriate as I feel this helps diffuse difficult topics and often enhances the therapeutic relationship. I tailor my work with clients to each client's specific needs.

What you can expect from me

Working together, we will develop practical coping skills for the many stressors life presents, including depression, anxiety, life changes, bereavement, relationship discord, and beyond. I am of the conviction that you are the true expert of your own life, and it is incredibly important that we cooperate on a highly personalized strategy to help you accomplish your objectives, experience healing, and reconstruct your sense of well-being.
