About
I've been doing this work for over 15 years, and it all started from a deeply personal place. I went through therapy myself (go ahead and ask me why in a session), and having someone help me through that journey inspired me to give back and help others who might be going through something similar. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, ADHD, women's issues including postpartum depression, family and relationship challenges, and I'm passionate about serving the LGBTQIA+ community. What drives me is seeing people grow and helping them move forward. I meet people where they are, and we work together from there.
My passion is driven from life experiences and fulfillment from watching my clients thrive.
I'm person-centered at my core, which means I tailor everything to you and where you're at in your journey. I combine CBT, DBT, trauma-focused CBT, reality therapy, and psychodynamic approaches to find whatever fits your needs best, so that you can make the progress you're looking for. My philosophy is all about meeting you where you are, identifying those cognitive distortions and triggers, and then working together to reframe thoughts for healthier cognition. We're peeling back that onion together, figuring out your goals and aspirations, and then collaborating to get you where you want to go. It's a partnership, and I'm flexible in how we get there.
