I work with a variety of clients on an integrative and holistic wellness basis.

Previously, I have focused on adult and adolescent personality disorders, and the utilization of psychodynamic, person-centered, mentalization-based, DBT, and play therapy modalities.

Therapy with my clients is not just passive listening. It is focusing on what your words, body, memory, and subconscious self are saying.

I am drawn to working with clients who want to grow and are open to creating healthy coping skills and mindsets. I also bring humor, transparent honesty, and irreverence into therapy as ways to help shift emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
