About

Reaching out for support can be tough. Life is busy and taking the time to focus on your mental health can seem like the last priority on your never-ending list.
Relationships, work, struggling to manage emotions, daily stress, and unforeseen life events can add up. I’m so glad you are taking the time to take care of yourself, and I hope to help you along the way.

My goal is to create a safe and validating environment where you can be open, vulnerable, and who you really are without any filter.

I have worked with individuals and groups for over 10 years who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. I specialize in CBT and DBT to help you learn new skills and make lasting change in your life. You are the expert, and I am here to help guide you to your goals.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to working with you!
