My background in community mental health includes working with teenagers, young adults, and families. I have experience working with school-age children through adulthood, supporting individuals with trauma histories, mood disorders, anxiety, substance use, and body image concerns. I especially enjoy working with young adults looking to gain more independence and autonomy.
I use a relational approach that integrates motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed care. I aim to facilitate sessions that feel nonjudgmental and collaborative so you can gain greater understanding of yourself and develop adaptive strategies to manage complex emotions.
Healing begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship and a safe, supportive space where you can explore and practice new skills. While you bring your unique life experiences, I offer compassion, validation, and a range of evidence-based approaches to support you in making the changes needed to live a more balanced, adaptive, and fulfilling life.
