Great to meet you!

I’ve had the privilege of working with clients navigating a wide range of challenges, including trauma, recovery, suicidal ideation, and domestic violence. My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based practices like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused approaches. I also integrate modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to meet each client where they are.

My approach to therapy

Therapy with me is a collaborative journey. I don’t come with all the answers, but I believe you hold the insight needed to create meaningful change. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you uncover your own clarity and direction. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way and build on your strengths to move forward with purpose and compassion.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a warm, respectful, and grounded space. We’ll talk about what brings you in, what matters most to you, and how we can start moving toward your goals. Building a genuine connection is at the heart of my work, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, seen, and supported.
