About
I became a therapist because I genuinely want to support people when life feels overwhelming. My goal isn't just to help you get through the hard moments — it's to empower you to find stability, resilience, and a sense of purpose as you move forward. My clinical work centers on evidence-based approaches to mental wellness. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), motivational interviewing, and substance use counseling. These methods give us concrete, proven tools to work with, no matter what you're facing. If you're navigating major life changes, struggling with substance use, working through trauma, or finding it difficult to adjust to new circumstances, I'm here to walk alongside you. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I see my role as a guide — someone who helps you move from where you are to where you want to be. Everyone deserves the chance to become their best self, and sometimes that journey requires support. I'd welcome the opportunity to help you take those first steps toward healing and meaningful growth. Specialties: My professional philosophy centers on empowering clients to transform their challenges into catalysts for growth. I specialize in helping individuals actively mitigate symptoms of depression and anxiety, focusing on moving clients beyond simple navigation toward sustainable stability and long-term success. I am experienced with guiding people through the practical work of symptom management so they can build resilience and create lasting change in their daily lives. Credentials & Experience: My expertise supports individuals navigating significant life changes, substance abuse, trauma, and difficulty adjusting to new circumstances. With over ten years of clinical experience in the Social Work field, I bring deep, community-focused knowledge to every client I serve.
"I draw on several evidence-based approaches to support your holistic wellness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns so you can feel and function better day to day. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a structured therapeutic approach designed specifically to help you process trauma and reclaim a sense of safety and control. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) equips you with practical skills to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and stay grounded. While these modalities are central to my work, I am a generalist clinician, meaning I pull from numerous approaches to tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals. Whatever you bring into the room, my aim is to meet you with a flexible, whole-person perspective that fosters meaningful and lasting growth."
