Great to meet you!

So Nice To Meet You!

I am passionate about providing an emotionally safe, non-judgmental space in which my clients and I work together to explore issues that may be presenting as obstacles to intended goals. I have effectively worked with people of all genders, races, backgrounds, and ethnicities and work intentionally to support healthy therapeutic relationships. I have most recently specialized in working with Veterans and First Responders who are working toward solutions related to trauma, depression, anxiety, emotion regulation, and substance use. I have a significant amount of experience and am passionate about working with senior adults and adults (individuals and couples) who are navigating various significant life transitions.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe it’s important to approach therapy with a sense of curiosity and wonder and enjoy incorporating humor and relaxation techniques into my sessions. My approach comes from a humanistic perspective and I incorporate CBT, DBT, meditation, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques into talk therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal in our first session is for us to begin building a space together, in which awareness, healing, and reflection is the priority.
