Hellohihey! Whether it’s your first time in therapy or have been looking for a new therapist, welcome! I thank you and applaud you for taking steps to help yourself in your mental health journey. Seeking help and talking about some of our deepest and most difficult moments can be really challenging, and I want to be able to support you in navigating through it all. Through mindful processing using techniques such as brainspotting to just talking and venting through the bs, I’m here to help! I like to take a more client-centered and strengths-based approach; wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to help support and walk alongside you. I try not to assume anything when it comes to your story; you are the writer of your narrative and I’m here to help with what you feel is important or necessary. I am open and willing to help many different populations and demographics. I have a background in early intervention and prevention, and I like working with teens and college-aged adults, especially to help navigate that transitional stage in adolescence and young adulthood. I primarily use techniques including CBT, DBT, and brainspotting in my treatment interventions.

Greetings fellow human, I recognize how intimating the search for a therapist can be. I hope that you are being kind to yourself and allowing time to feel your feels. I am one of many options, and I hope you find what you need because you deserve care that holds all of you. I may be a good fit, if you're looking for a deep reflection, compassion, and inner clarity.

I’m so glad you are here! My personal philosophy around therapy is that it is a tool used to help you on your journey until you are ready to let go of the helping hand and navigate your world using the coping skills, tools and resources you gained in therapy. Allow me to help you navigate through this confusing time and help you regain your confidence in yourself. As your therapist I can guide you towards improving your mood and relationships as well as strengthening your copings skills and problem solving abilities so that what once felt unmanageable is now manageable. Give me a call for a free 15 minute consultation to see if I’m the right therapist for you!
