I specialize in working with couples, individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder, and trauma.
Relationships can bring joy and stability, but when behaviors or emotions interfere, they can also cause deep pain. It’s difficult to feel trapped in a cycle of recurring arguments, unmet needs, or emotional distance. I help couples and individuals navigate impulsive behaviors, anxious attachment, anger, and unexpected life challenges. You don’t have to face your struggles alone. With the right support, you can build secure, connected relationships.

I am passionate about providing evidence-based, culturally-sensitive interventions for a variety of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and borderline personality disorder. I approach treatment from an ecological and family systems lens to consider ways in which individuals influence and are influenced by other people, systems, and settings. In my work, treatment plans are collaboratively developed with clients and are often broadly focused on goals around regulating intense emotions and/or healing from traumatic experiences.

Welcome to therapy for feelers, from a feeler! I work best with clients who are "sensitive", over-thinkers, highly empathetic, highly self-aware (almost…too self-aware?), self-critical, conflict-avoidant or avoidant in general, people pleasers, and/or those who intellectualize their feelings (when asked how you feel, you share what you’re thinking). If any of this sounds familiar, let’s chat. My practice is rooted in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which aims to find a balance between change (when possible) and acceptance (of what cannot be changed).

I believe we are relational beings, and health can be cultivated in intentional, honest, and reciprocal relationships that respect and reveal our inherent dignity. Relationships with others and ourselves hold great promise and power, they can also be the focus of our pain as we move through life. The therapeutic relationship we build together acts as a staging ground and microcosm to help you renew the relationships you have with yourself and others in life. To that end, I endeavor to help you see what may be driving you while also reflecting on what uniquely revealed in your relationships and looking to increase capacity for joy.
