About

I’m committed to helping individuals and families move through life’s challenges with greater clarity, strength, and connection. I specialize in supporting parents facing the ups and downs of parenting, children and teens experiencing emotional or behavioral concerns, and adults working through anxiety, depression, or addiction. Whether it’s managing tantrums, school struggles, emotional outbursts, or overwhelming life stressors, I help clients build insight, develop healthy coping skills, and strengthen relationships. My approach is grounded in compassion and rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. I believe in meeting people where they are without judgment and creating a safe, trusting space where you can feel heard, respected, and empowered. Life can feel heavy at times, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy offers the chance to feel supported, to gain clarity, and to move forward with greater confidence and connection. I’m here to walk alongside you on that journey. . Credentials & Experience: I bring 17 years of experience providing in-home and community-based therapy to at-risk youth and families. I also have a strong background in substance use treatment, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-based models to assist in building healthier lifestyle.
