Pronouns
she/her/hers

I knew at a young age that my purpose was to help others. Becoming a therapist has allowed me to serve this purpose and I take great pride in being able to listen to others and provide them with empathetic guidance.

My specialties include working with depression, anxiety, trauma, and addictions for adolescents and adults. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-based work.

I have experience working with diverse populations and like to tailor therapy sessions to meet each individual’s needs. This can be a combination of talk therapy, psycho-education, and homework assignments if needed. My goal is to help you overcome whatever you are struggling with and create a more joyful, healthy, and balanced life.

My focused specialities include working with:
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Mood disorders
• Personality disorders (narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder)
• Self-harm
• Trauma
• Eating disorders (binge eating disorder, anorexia, bulimia)
• Substance use disorders
• Grief/loss
