About me
I consider it a privilege to walk with others in their healing journeys. I follow a strength-based approach in which your values, abilities, and all the things that make you wonderfully unique are highlighted, celebrated, and used to guide your mental health treatment. I empower each individual I work with to be able to confidently address difficult feelings, trauma, relationship problems, and life transitions. Additionally, I am deeply committed to supporting neurodiverse individuals and honoring the unique ways each of us experiences the world.
I help clients understand the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT (with trauma survivors under 18). I emphasize psychoeducation to eliminate shame and provide practical strategies including mindfulness, communication skills, and self-advocacy tools.
When you work with me, you are in the driver's seat. I am here to empower you, but ultimately, you are in control of your treatment. I provide a warm environment in which you are welcome to laugh, cry, and be yourself. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I’m here to provide a space where healing feels possible.
