Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training to become supervisors. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases, which means that, when working with them, you are getting the time and expertise of multiple therapists in your treatment.

Life’s challenges can often feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to find yourself trapped in unhelpful patterns or cycles to cope that seem impossible to break. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering the support and guidance you need to navigate these challenges and reveal a path forward. As your therapist, I’m here to create a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. ​ Therapy is most effective when it’s a collaborative process. Together, we’ll work to identify and overcome the obstacles that have been holding you back, whether you’re dealing with current challenges or processing past traumas. My approach is gentle, empathetic, and flexible, allowing you to explore at your own pace. I draw on my training and experience in evidence-based practices like CBT and DBT and a commitment to cultural sensitivity to tailor our sessions to meet your specific needs. Whether we are developing healthy coping skills, or finding purpose and direction in your life, I strive to ensure that you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. ​ My focus is on more than just helping you manage symptoms—I want to help you find lasting solutions. Therapy is about finding your own path to healing and growth. I firmly believe that everyone can create a life that feels fulfilling and true to who they are, even when it seems hopelessly out of reach. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, the lingering effects of trauma, or simply feel “stuck”, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll help you to turn your challenges into strengths and build the life you deserve.
