Great to meet you!

I am an LPC with experience working in the partial hospital, intensive outpatient and outpatient clinical settings. I have experience working with clients of all ages, with an emphasis on adolescents and young adults.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, and OCD, as well as various eating disorders and body image concerns. I focus on meeting clients where they are at and helping people by identifying and challenging negative core beliefs and maladaptive thinking. I work strongly with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Based Therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

I look forward to working with clients on improving their sense of self and feel seen and heard through an empathetic lens.
