Welcome! I'm glad you found your way here! I'm a dedicated therapist with a passion for helping individuals live a life worth living. I hold a PLPC license and am supervised by an LPC. I have been endorsed by the National Board for Certified Counselors. My therapeutic approach is centered around creating a strong therapeutic alliance, practicing unconditional positive regard, empathy, and creating a space where you can feel vulnerable and validated as you work through challenges. I have developed a niche for working with self-harm, mood disorders, personality disorders, and trauma.
I utilize DBT in a lot of my therapy. I currently only offer individual sessions at this time. In my office, you can find a safe, warm, and compassionate space to be able to work through life's challenges.
I understand that reaching out for support can be a significant step, often times a scary step, toward living a life worth living, and I am proud of you for doing so. I am here to offer support throughout your journey and provide validation along the way.
