Like most therapists, I utilize a wide variety of clinical modalities (CBT, EMDR, DBT, ACT, logotherapy, person-centered therapy).
Therapy is for everyone. Life is beautiful, but it can also be brutal. We all go through times in our lives where talking it out with a friend or meditating just doesn't cut it. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, or just feeling stuck in life, I'm here for you. I'll walk alongside you on this journey to help you identify your strengths and coping strategies to help you move forward. We'll also detangle the threads of your past and help you make sense of the story of your life. We'll talk about your childhood trauma as well as what's going on in the present - and how these things interact.

I also practice skills-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
The core of effective therapy involves creating a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship where you can be yourself. In my work with individual adults and couples, I focus on building this foundation so we can explore those deeper emotions (anger, fear, grief, shame) and promote more supportive connections. My approach is flexible and completely dependent on your needs, but my goal is always to make you feel more whole, whether that means discussing the past, exploring the present, or focusing on the future.

I primarily use Dialectical-Behavior Therapy ( DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness-Based Interventions to explore client concerns and promote change.
We all develop ways of surviving life's challenges that at the time make sense but may hurt or hold us back in the long run. How we dealt with the past ends up dictating our current relationships, emotional responses, and belief in our ability to change. While insight building is highly valuable, my experience is that most people already know what holds them back or what they wish were different in their lives. I use skills-based and motivational approaches to help clients move beyond insight and into actionable steps for sustained change.

I focus on treating the whole person by integrating various therapeutic approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention, Habit Reversal Training, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, mindfulness, and others.
I enjoy working with people ready to embrace change and gain a fresh perspective on life’s challenges. If you often feel overwhelmed by worries, fear losing control, or struggle with feelings of inadequacy, and if old patterns are holding you back, you’re eager to break free. You might face challenges like OCD, anxiety, trauma, depression, major life changes or just feel stuck. You’re open to exploring your thoughts and emotions deeply and facing fears to reclaim your life. If you value authenticity, connection, and a straightforward yet compassionate approach, let’s connect!

While these difficulties impact people from all walks of life, I specialize in providing therapy and support services for executive-level professionals and those in leadership positions, where the stress and demands from their career are exacerbated by underlying issues.

I am honored to walk alongside anyone on a journey to develop their sense of self whether it is related to identity development, a life transition, changing roles, or self-introspection and growth.
