I like to take a comprehensive, collaborative approach to treatment and focus on building a professional and positive relationship versus treating a diagnosis. To me, it is important to build a genuine relationship based on trust, openness and honesty, that emphasizes meeting the client where they’re at. I believe the client is an expert in their own lives and my role is to help them become a healthier, happier version of themselves.

I am an LMFT with over 16 years of experience working in mental health. I have 10 years of experience as a clinician and skills teacher in a comprehensive DBT program. I am experienced in CBT, Prolonged Exposure therapy, and working with psychotic, personality and mood disorders. Irreverence and humor are part of my personality. Bonus: if you like animals, you are sure to see an appearance during a session with me. And if you don't like animals, we can talk about that too.

Why is it that the person we love the most can become the most threatening to us? We want to feel connected and yet our behaviors end up pushing them away…and vice versa. You’re not alone. Most couples can find themselves in a negative cycle at some point, unable to find their way out of it. We are social animals! We need each other! Attachment science makes sense of our interactions with each other. I love helping couples and families understand their particular dance, making the connections between what the the underlying need is and more adaptive ways to express that need, thereby bringing a feeling of safety and connection.
