The best of mental healthcare in one place. At Geode, we combine full-spectrum psychiatry and talk therapy to better meet changing patient needs.

My focus is to meet each client where they are, with empathy, respect, and genuine curiosity. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and addiction or substance use concerns. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding, not judgment, and that therapy should be a collaborative process built on trust and compassion. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, strengthen coping skills, and identify what truly supports your growth and healing. My therapeutic approach is flexible and integrative, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and brainspotting. I adapt these techniques to meet your unique needs rather than fitting you into a rigid framework. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward on your path toward resilience and self-discovery.
