Coaching is a perfect blend of insight and action. Through this process, we will work together to understand what needs to be changed, why it needs to be changed and how it should be changed. Professional Focus: work transitions, professional development, promotion, staff communication and conflict, efficiency, burnout, and work life balance. Personal Focus: weight loss, exercise adherence, tobacco cessation, stress reduction, relationship management, boundary formation and implementation, organization, time management, and self development.

I see psychotherapy as a psycho-educational experience where you learn about yourself. This counseling process of self-exploration leads to understanding self-defeating thinking and behaviors that may keep you from actualizing potential for successful relationships, success in business and career and from having a really happy life. During the years since I have been a licensed psychologist, I have had the privilege of helping many individuals and couples to achieve a happier, emotionally healthier, and financially successful life. My patients describe me as being a no nonsense person, while at the same time being warm and comfortable.

I am committed to supporting and empowering my clients on their path toward self growth and healing. Each client is their own unique person, therefore I combine ideas and techniques from different counseling frameworks. I work with varying ages of adults, with the college age demographic being my primary client focus. Using a culturally competent lens, I specialize in the areas of grief and loss, anxiety, depression, family of origin concerns and interpersonal communication. I am relational, and value the importance of the therapeutic alliance as a tool to facilitate change.

I enjoy supporting young adults 17+ and adults who feel "stuck" and desire to heal from past trauma or PTSD, improve relationships, navigate current overwhelming situations, change unhelpful/harmful behaviors, develop emotional experiencing skills, strengthen executive functioning or increase self-understanding to build a life with less unnecessary suffering and more commitment towards what matters most. I love working with people from a variety of backgrounds, cultures and identities (including LGBTQIA+ and ADHD/Autistic folks) and commit to honoring each diverse experience.

It is my personal belief you are your own best expert, and my hope is to assist you in strengthening your relationship to your own thoughts and emotions, as well as your relationship to yourself and others through DBT and CBT.

Life has a way of throwing challenges at you when you least expect it. It can be hard to know how to understand and cope with those life challenges. But fear not, because you don’t have to face them alone.
