Find a Therapist

---

As your therapist, you are my focus and we will work together to build a life that you deserve and find fulfillment in.  We will explore why we do what we do, not with judgment but with compassion. All behaviors make sense and you will gain insight to explain behaviors and learn to heal from previous hurts. There is no room for judgement in my sessions, we are learning the root causes of unskillful behaviors and how to interact in the world, develop healthy relationships, all while maintaining your needs and acting in congruence with your values. We will create goals for therapy and celebrate the successes (large or small), and continue to build on the progress.  

I have years of experience working with adolescents, family conflict, eating disorders, parenting challenges, and couples. 

My therapy style is client focused and I use a wide variety of techniques to tailor to the clients needs. 

I am a family therapist by training and use a Structural Family Therapy approach to identify the needs of the family system, identify the problematic cycles and the internal strengths, and improve the overall functioning. I can help families learn to manage the challenges of parenting adolescents with big feelings in a safe relationship that develops trust and respect. 

I teach my clients healthy coping skills with a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. You will learn how to allow space for being uncomfortable and gain confidence to be able to regulate your emotions and not let your emotions control you.  Emotional progress is not linear and I will be here with you during the ups and downs. 

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe environment for all clients in order to work alongside you in reaching your goals. I believe in being authentic and comfortable with you and will encourage you to do the same. I strive to use my natural curiosity to emphasize cultural humility within therapeutic relationships making them a judgement free zone.

My experiences are wide-ranging including settings such as outpatient community mental health, adult and youth residential placements, inpatient units, etc. She has provided services to both individuals and couples, working on issues such as anxiety, depression, neurodivergences, anger management, substance use, psychosis, trauma, intimacy and sexual concerns, family discord, communication, and so much more. My therapy style is tailored to each client and what works best for you. I am comfortable using multiple approaches and tools to help you reach your goals.

As your counselor, it is important to me that I consistently provide you with a safe, nurturing, understanding, and non-judgmental environment, where you will feel seen, heard, and empowered. I believe in a collaborative style, and am prepared to walk alongside you throughout this journey.

I specialize in working with children (ages 2+), adolescents, and women, struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, low-self-esteem, ADHD, ASD, suicidal ideations, self-harming behaviors, emotional and mood dysregulation, as well as interpersonal relationship and social skill difficulties.


Utilizing an integrative approach, I implement play therapy, sand tray therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical-behavioral therapy, art therapy, narrative therapy, and SF-BT. Additionally, I work closely with our Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (ages 11-17), run a Teen Social skills group (ages 13-17), and facilitate two virtual Parent Support & Education Groups.

As your therapist, my goal first and foremost
is to ensure that you feel deeply seen, heard, and understood. Many individuals seek therapy because they are suffering in some way, and I am here to remind you that you do not have to go through this chapter alone. From an existential lens, suffering is an innate part of life. However, we can create meaning in this suffering and forge a new path. When we become victims of our suffering over prolonged periods of time, we are powerless. When we create meaning from suffering, we are powerful. 

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, life transitions or purpose, we will find meaning and solutions together.  I utilize an eclectic blend of approaches such as existentialism, internal family systems, and motivational interviewing to cater to your specific desires and needs. We will walk this path as fellow travelers. Let’s take the first step together.

Therapy can be an intimating space if you have had challenges with past therapists or the mental health system, or if you are new to the experience. My aim is for this space to be person centered and be about what is of importance to you in all aspects of your care. I hope to welcome everyone in as they are to a space where you can explore your identity, grow your resiliency, coping skills, and process life events or stressors. With my experiences at my MSW internship, I have worked with teenagers with DBT, polyvagal theory (a somatic approach), CBT, in combination with expressive arts or interactive activities. These are some different approaches to increase mindfulness of our physical and mental state, as well as, finding avenues to regulate oneself, and increase interpersonal effectiveness. I would be honored to be apart of your mental health journey. 

I believe anyone can benefit from therapy and as your therapist I will work with you to identify how you feel most supported and heard. As a therapist I take a warm, calming approach to help build a safe and productive space. Together we will create a plan with achievable goals that guide treatment. 

I specialize in working with teens and young adults with an additional focus on women's mental health, anxiety, depression, and life adjustments. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Motivational Interviewing, CBT for Eating Disorders, and trauma-informed practice. 

Throughout treatment I utilize different modalities and encourage clients to bring whatever they need support with to session, whether you just need to talk or need help searching for resources. I am here to support you on an individual level and help you live the life you want. 

As your therapist, I hope to utilize a collaborative, strengths-based approach, in order to support you on your mental health journey. We will create a safe space for you to process, grow, and heal. As an LCSWA, I want you to feel empowered on this journey, so that you are able to live a meaningful life, even through any challenges you may face. I have an extensive history working with individuals from the ages of 3-26 years-old, specializing in those with anxiety, depression, trauma, and interpersonal/relational struggles. I am currently trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT). However, I tend to implement integrative therapy techniques, such as art therapy. I am working toward my goals of becoming certified in Play Therapy (RPT) and Sand Tray Therapy (ICST).
