With over 17 years of experience as a therapist, I’m passionate about the process of personal growth. I’ll tailor our work together to fit your unique needs, providing practical tools and strategies to empower you to make the changes you’ve been seeking. I have extensive experience working in private practice, outpatient treatment, and residential care, providing support for mental health and substance use challenges. I’ve also served as a Clinical Director, managing and mentoring other therapists in both residential and outpatient settings. My training includes a variety of evidence-based approaches such as REBT, DBT, Trauma-Informed Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based, Internal Family Systems, and Motivational Interviewing. If you feel that my approach resonates with you and you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out and schedule an appointment. Together, we’ll find the path that leads to the life you envision.

As a licensed clinical therapist, I have specialized in trauma-informed competent mental health care for children, adolescents, and young adults. My main goal is for my clients to feel comfortable, safe, and to be able to dictate the pacing and priority of how we process the traumas or stressors and the addressing of treatment goals. I am passionate about delivering effective competent quality therapy services to our diverse community and helping my clients harness their strengths to find peace, self-love, confidence, support, and control in their lives. I specialize in working with Bipolar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder Schizophrenia and related disorders, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, eating disorders, and Postpartum depression and psychosis. I work with couples, individuals with diverse cultural and religious identities, LGBTQ+ and polyamorous individuals, cancer patients, and individuals with chronic illness and chronic pain. I utilize a variety of modalities including Emotion-Focused, Solution-Focused, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman method, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and more. I know that together we can help ease the stress in your life and create meaning in your life. Like I love to say, "You may not have been able to control what happened yesterday, but tomorrow can be a new beginning full of hope and opportunity."
