Your emotional wellbeing is our priority. We will work together to not just get you unstuck, but help you thrive and flourish.

Within the safe space we create, we will collaborate to identify and explore your concerns, creating goals for the future, and finding your strength to achieve these goals. Whether it's trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, or grief, I believe that integrating therapeutic modalities with a personable and tailored approach, can help us find what works best for you in your journey to heal and grow. As a mental health advocate, I greatly admire vulnerability in the face of stigma and value the opportunity to explore your needs. It is a privilege to be part of your healing process. The modalities I utilize target the reduction of symptoms as well as emphasize a person-centered approach. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoanalysis, and dialectical behavioral therapy practices with an integrative approach to highlight autonomy and your strengths through motivational interviewing and mindfulness work.
