Personalized counseling, support and guidance for your unique journey

About Me

Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. With over 10 years of clinical experience, my approach is rooted in genuine warmth, deep empathy, and a belief that you are the expert on your own life.

Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working across the entire spectrum of mental health care. From helping children, teens and families navigate the complexities of the child welfare and school systems, to supporting individuals through acute crises in inpatient and emergency psychiatry, I have spent years meeting people on their hardest days. Today, in my private practice, I bring that entire wealth of experience to you.

My Approach to Psychotherapy

I do not believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Because every client brings a unique history and distinct needs, my practice intentionally integrates five clinical frameworks to treat you as a whole person. I utilize psychodynamic therapy to look backward and uncover long-standing root causes or unconscious patterns, and pair it with CBT and DBT to manage and rewire present-day symptoms, thoughts, and emotional regulation. To help you move forward, I incorporate motivational interviewing to gently resolve any ambivalence and tap into your internal drive, alongside solution-focused therapy to establish concrete momentum and actionable steps for your future. Together, we will collaboratively blend these approaches to honor your individuality and design a path that meets you exactly where you are.

Our work is active, collaborative, and tailored to your specific pace. We do not get stuck endlessly analyzing the past, nor do we ignore it. A typical session balances processing deeper emotional insights with developing practical tools you can implement the same day. You will leave therapy not only understanding why you feel the way you do, but knowing exactly what to do about it.

Choosing a therapist is an investment in your vulnerability and your future. In our work together, you can expect an environment free of judgment, grounded in clinical safety, and focused entirely on your autonomy. We will go at your pace—ensuring you feel stabilized and equipped with practical coping skills before we dive into deeper root-cause processing.
