Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of supporting a diverse range of individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, behavioral disorders, PTSD, and autism. These individuals often navigated complex situations, including unhealthy family dynamics, overwhelming stress, identity exploration (including LGBTQIA+ concerns), grief, and even suicidal or homicidal ideation.

My approach is relaxed and conversational, much like talking to a trusted friend who also happens to be a therapist. We'll begin by getting to know you better – your strengths, what brings you joy, and the challenges you're facing. I believe in cultivating self-compassion, as life can be incredibly demanding. One of the key aspects of my work involves increasing self-awareness. We often operate on autopilot, and by becoming more mindful of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can make conscious choices. We'll explore these concepts together, all while creating a space for open and honest communication and a touch of humor along the way.

My experience working with diverse individuals has allowed me to develop a flexible approach to therapy. I utilize a range of evidence-based modalities, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic Experiencing, and Mindfulness-Based approaches. Just as you wouldn't use a fork to flip a pancake, I believe in tailoring my therapeutic approach to each individual's unique needs. I'll work with you to determine the most effective strategies to support your healing journey.

​When I'm not working as a therapist, I'm running around in the woods with my dog and two young kids. I also work as an Art Therapist at a school for children who learn differently.
