Great to meet you!

As a solution-focused clinician, I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I can teach you simple, effective stress-relieving techniques that complement talk therapy. My non-judgmental approach balances the need to listen and validate your experiences while also challenging you to address and resolve life barriers.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in helping young adults navigate challenges and build resilience.

Past and current clients have described my style as empathetic, authentic, warm, energetic and supportive, all with a touch of "tough love".

What you can expect from me

Managing your mental health can be challenging whether you are facing new obstacles or have an existing diagnosis. Here there is no judgment, only a listening ear with positive regard and empathy. Change begins with your mindset and if you're willing, I can help.
