I work with individuals and couples in a variety of different areas, some of them include loss, anxiety, depression, and trauma. People often come in to work on a specific issue while others come in because something feels wrong, or because they want to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. My work with couples involves helping them work through areas in their relationship where they are struggling or feeling at a loss and we work together to help them gain new and lasting relational skills, often with a focus on communication.

Deciding what I wanted to be when I grew up was an easy choice. I always gravitated toward working with people and working on teams. I find that therapy is a team effort with an important goal in mind. As a therapist, I have grown accustomed to using cognitive-behavioral frameworks in my practice, as well as utilizing concepts and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy depending on client needs. Additionally, I am a Registered Art Therapist. Though art therapy is not the appropriate modality all the time, I often find that solutions can come when we open ourselves to something new.
