I'm not like other therapists you may have been to. My dedication for helping others has been fueled by the adversity in my own life. I want my clients to be themselves in my space. I won't tell you what to do, but I'll walk with you while you figure out what the best route is to meet your goals for a healthy life. I enjoy working with young adults and adults who are motivated to find a solution to alleviate their depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and self-harming behaviors. I have experience working with BPD, pornography issues, infidelity and betrayal trauma, and general life transitions.
I have a particular interest in helping individuals rebuild a productive life after incarceration. Reentry can be difficult for some-particularly if that includes supervision by probation and/or having to register as a sex offender. I have a special interest in helping anyone who is registry impacted-including family members adjust to their new life.
My clients appreciate the space I make for their emotions and healing. I use dialectics (two things can be true at once) to assist them in managing BIG emotions. I am skilled at identifying cognitive distortions (thinking errors) and challenging those with a no BS approach. I appreciate humor-even the dark kind-believing that laughter is good medicine.

I didn't start college until I was 45 years old, but I've been practicing social work my whole adult life. Helping people succeed is my gift to those who helped me when I needed assistance. I am a fierce advocate for the folks in my circle, which is why I was told, "Go to school!"

Because I identify with many of the traits of BPD, my clients know they can be honest with me about the problematic behaviors they would like to change. I am learning DBT skills as a therapist, but I am also utilizing those skills in my own life as well. I am very interested in what is holding my clients back from being their best selves.

I am currently taking a 26-hour training on DBT skills for certification. These skills are crucial to unlearning negative coping methods, overreacting, and ruining relationships in the workplace, at home, and in social circles. You can be successful in life when you get to know yourself and why you do the things you do.
