I currently provide services to the adolescent and adult populations (13 years and older). Through an insight-oriented lens, I offer compassionate and person-centered approaches to therapy while integrating application of interventions that include clinical trauma-informed principles, cognitive and inference-based cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, relational-cultural therapy, and will include creative art expression opportunities to support the therapeutic process so that clients will walk away with strategies they need to adapt and are of value to their unique individual healing journey. My approach allows me to offer the tools, exercises, and resources beneficial to the healing and treatment of individuals struggling with post and acute traumatic stress, anxiety, OCD, grief, shame, depression, relational difficulties, and/or other stressor-related concerns.
What I love most about the therapeutic process is being able to witness one’s profound growth and empowerment through self-realizations and application of their true potential and abilities to reach their identified goals.
Life Beyond the Chair:
Outside of practicing, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, my dogs, or anywhere I can be outside. I love hiking, being in nature, and finding little adventures close to home. I also love channeling my creativity through cooking and trying new recipes, especially when I get to share them with the people I love.
I'm a believer in balance. Some days that may look like getting outside and staying active; other days it's curling up with a good historical fiction novel—or, if I'm being completely honest, sometimes binging a cringey reality TV show, the latest true crime documentary, or a rewatching a movie for the 100th time.
I believe life is about making room for both adventure and rest, laughter and hard conversations. Life isn't about being perfect; it's about finding moments of connection, laughter, and restoration. Those are values I carry with me both in my personal life and in the work, I do with my clients.
