Let's be honest. Most of us have something that we could use additional help navigating. I'm passionate about providing support to teens and adults looking to gain awareness, understanding, and skills to manage life changes, interpersonal relationships, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief, and PTSD. My clients describe wanting to see sustainable change in their lives and are open to challenging their beliefs and disrupting current behavioral patterns to achieve that change. Additionally, I have a special interest in working with populations who are marginalized including racial/ethnic, sexual, and gender minorities. I'm a holistic therapist and use an integrated approach to provide the individualized care for each of my clients. I use both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I also utilize a strengths-based, solution-focused, and systems approach keeping in mind the importance of community and environment. Reaching out to a therapist is one of the most difficult actions a person can take. I'm dedicated to helping others increase their belief in their own abilities to set and achieve goals. Together, we will discuss your needs, create a plan, and work to help you improve your overall satisfaction with your daily functioning. I look forward to meeting you!
