About

I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 10 years of experience in the field, 6 of those providing one on one therapy/group therapy. I have worked in many settings, including inpatient treatment centers for the severely mentally ill, incarceration facilities, and drug treatment, as well as outpatient treatment in children and families. I have the most experience with couples, families, and individuals with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I enjoy finding something that I can relate to with my clients in order to build rapport. I am warm and compassionate and expect you to work as hard on your well-being as I will work with you. My approach is mainly dialectical behavioral therapy, along with trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. I tend to be a very laid-back, go-with-the-flow type of person when it comes to therapy. I am here to be your support system and guide you towards your goals, so I often give ""homework,"" and I hate calling it that because you're not going to be graded, but it's something that I give in between sessions to help with various things but mainly self-reflection. I am very blunt as well, so if I'm thinking it and I don't think it'll be detrimental in any way for me to say it, I'm going to say it, some people love that, some people hate it. If you and I don't click, that's okay, don't quit therapy; quit your therapist! In my spare time, I enjoy camping, hiking, wood burning (as an art form but also around a campfire), and working with epoxy resin. Reaching out for help is step one, and if you're here, you've accomplished that. I look forward to meeting with you.
