Get To Know Me
What does a first session with you look like?
During the first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy, your therapy goals, and how I can help. From there, we'll work together to meet those goals and improve your overall mental health and well-being.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My therapy style is a "tough love" approach where I ask questions to challenge your thoughts, which will lead to self-reflection and awareness to relieve anxiety and feel more empowered. Furthermore, I utilize a humanistic, person-centered therapy approach with all my clients using positive psychology to help enhance mindfulness, build stress and frustration tolerance, and emotional intelligence, and teach coping strategies and healthy communication skills.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy are the treatment methods I mostly utilize with clients. I help build self-esteem, confidence, and resiliency levels, enhance communication skills, teach coping strategies, and improve emotional intelligence and regulation.

Work HistoryAs a former PHP/IOP group therapist for kiddos, I work with children and adults with various mood, anxiety, and personality disorders as well as increased symptoms of anxiety and depression that result in behavioral issues, impulsivity, high crisis, and suicidal ideation. I use evidence-based psychotherapies for those who struggle with emotional regulation, coping with life’s stresses, and mental health issues.
With what kids are exposed to today, and the challenges that adults face, we need guidance in learning how to handle and manage the aftereffects. Rock bottom always looks ugly, but it’s not the end. If you have a shred of hope, you can get through this, and I’m here to help you every step of the way.
