I work with a MI, CBT, and DBT framework.
I am currently on a waitlist for new clients. Do you struggle with not knowing who you are or what you want? Have you found that the coping skills that used to work just seem to fall short? Do you want a safe and nonjudgmental space to be able to talk with someone? I believe we all have the capacity to address our needs, become more authentic, and make positive changes towards our goals regardless of what we have been through in the past. We are able to access our own wisdom and truth when we feel safe and heard. I would love to provide that space and presence for you to share, grow, and heal.

My therapeutic approach is primarily Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Interpersonal Neurobiology, while incorporating aspects of Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
I greatly enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to grow and actively involved in their own care. I approach the therapeutic process from a perspective of curiosity and use a broad range of professional, cultural, and life experiences to connect with a diverse spectrum of patients. Having served for several years as a first responder with Jackson County I saw the impact of trauma firsthand, and remain dedicated to approaching trauma, anxiety, and depression through a lens of understanding and compassion. My goal is to facilitate, nurture, and cultivate a strong foundation that generates long-term success for the patient.

We’ll integrate science-based treatments like Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO- DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with embodied healing tools like meditation and yoga.
I help stressed, perfectionistic students and professionals learn how to relax. Too much self-control, or overcontrol, makes it hard to enjoy life and connect meaningfully with others. It’s exhausting to feel like you’re always ‘on’, performing, or wearing a mask. Overcontrol can lead to problems like anxiety, depression, disordered eating, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and intimacy avoidance. You don’t have to struggle alone–I’ve been a therapist working with LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other overcontrolled folks for over 10 years. Together, we can get you unstuck and harness your self-control as a strength.

Utilizing a holistic approach alongside CBT, DBT Narrative Therapy and EMDR, my practice focuses on improving overall well-being by addressing the mind-body connection.
Life transitions and relationship issues can be particularly challenging for Veterans and middle-aged adults, often bringing feelings of uncertainty, stress, and isolation. Recognizing the need for support during these times is crucial. If you're navigating these waters, understanding that your experiences and feelings are valid is the first step towards healing. A holistic approach to therapy can offer not just coping mechanisms but a pathway to a more balanced and fulfilling life, acknowledging the interconnection of physical and emotional health.

I work from a wholistic approach which draws on skills from DBT, CBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, depth psychology and psychodynamic theory cultivated over the past 12 years of therapeutic work.
I believe that when we are buried in fear, anxiety, depression, existential dread or the various forms of mental and emotional distress that lead us to seek counseling, we are primarily dealing with a loss of connection. That disconnection - from people, purpose, safety, motivation, meaning and even disconnection from our own sense of self - can have so many different causes, and each of us must chart our own path to wholeness which can feel impossible to do on our own. I am continuously humbled by the bravery of my clients as they step onto this path of healing and self discovery which is not always easy, but is always worth it.

As a clinical psychologist trained as an integrationist, I enjoy working with people from a holistic perspective. I believe it is important to consider not only what is going on in the present, but also what has happened developmentally, biologically, interpersonally,and cognitively. In addition to conceptualizing our experiences as people from a systems perspective, I conduct individual, group, and family therapy using a DBT-informed frame of practice. What this means is that change comes about by learning new behaviors in a variety of contexts while balancing the reality of a person's situation and skill level with acceptance.

I work with modalities like EMDR, CBT, DBT, Gottman and Motivational Interviewing.
Sometimes when the world feels overwhelming, we don't connect how past abuse has led us to emotions that feel out of control. It's like when stress builds up over lots of little things and you finally snap at someone you care about in a way you didn't mean. Or feeling overly tired of trying to live in this world because every choice you make seems hard and a large amount of effort. These are things I can help with. Additionally - if you are struggling with your significant other, like feeling not heard, or having problems in the bedroom, or feeling like you are carrying more than your share; we can work on this together.
