Great to meet you!

I am experienced in providing individual and group treatment to assist with decreasing symptoms related to depression, stress, anxiety, OCD, trauma, and other symptoms related to co-occurring disorders. I also am experienced in providing couples therapy to assist with learning ways to improve communication, re-connect, validate, and connect to decrease relationship stress and growth within the relationship. I use a collaborate approach to assist the clients in being a co-pilot in their treatment. I utilize skills such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to assist in the therapy process. I have extensive experience working with individuals with personality disorders, severe trauma history, and I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression. My hope is to work with individuals on the Spring Health platform to assist them in improving their overall wellbeing.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is rooted in creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that honors each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and challenges. My goal is to build a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship while helping clients develop greater self-awareness, navigate life’s challenges, identify patterns, and build practical tools to support meaningful and lasting change.

I strive to meet each client and couple where they are, recognizing that healing and growth look different for everyone. Through compassion, curiosity, and evidence-informed interventions, I aim to help clients explore their experiences, strengthen resilience, and move toward a healthier life as well as help couples rebuild a healthier relationship.

What you can expect from me

Your first therapy session is an opportunity for us to begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. During this session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your current concerns, and begin identifying your goals for treatment.

I understand that starting therapy can bring up a range of emotions, including nervousness, uncertainty, or even relief. You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. My approach is to meet you where you are, listen with compassion, and allow the therapeutic process to unfold at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Its an oppturnity to express concerns, reservations, and needs in a safe therapuetic space.
