I work with individuals, children, adolescents, teens, adults, couples, families, veterans, and persons in the LGBTQ+ community. My clinical interests include working with those affected by trauma, personality disorders, Autism, ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions, as my own life is affected by the differences and challenges my daughter’s Autism has introduced us to throughout her life. I have experience in trauma-focused CBT and DBT for those affected by childhood trauma, abuse, and sexual trauma. I also have experience with the foster-care system, single-parent households, & blended families. Let me help you be your best you!
I practice an integrative therapy approach which provides a more personalized touch, utilizing Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Solutions-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral-Informed Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Schema-Focused Therapy, Art Therapy, and Mindfulness with all my clients, and Sandtray and play-Informed Therapy for children.
I offer sessions both in-person and virtually. I am looking forward to working with you on a personalized level to help you realize your mental wellness goals; such as minimizing your stress and anxieties, set reasonable and achievable expectations for yourself, learn coping skills to simplify your life, or expand your self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Therapy should be a welcoming, supportive, and safe environment while also challenging you and encouraging your healing. My goal is to help you process and recover from experienced trauma, to learn to confront and manage any personal issues you might face, and to learn to accept, love, and support yourself through self-care and mental health & wellness skills that you can implement beyond therapy!
