Ages: 6+ (must be seen in-person if under 12)

I genuinely enjoy working with kids, young adults, and families navigating major life transitions, behavioral challenges, or complex family dynamics. I also feel deeply fulfilled supporting people living with Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar Disorder. Together, we can make sense of intense emotions, build stability, and develop practical strategies to help you feel more grounded and understood in your daily life.

I offer collaborative, trauma-informed care grounded in patience, cultural humility, and adaptability. I use CBT, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and creativity to help you better understand your experiences, regulate emotions, and find practical strategies that fit your life.

Therapy works best when you can bring your authentic self into the room. No filter, no polish, and no need to have everything figured out before you arrive. If you’re nervous or don’t quite have the words for what you’re feeling, that’s okay. We’ll start where you are, move at your pace, and work together to find what feels right for you.

This is my first time in therapy. What can I expect?

In therapy, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where we’ll work together to explore your feelings, set personal goals, and develop coping strategies for challenges like anxiety, stress, grief, and more. I’ll tailor our approach using techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to meet your unique needs, empowering you to make positive changes at your own pace.

How do I get started with therapy?

The first step is to fill out the contact form with your information to the best of your ability. One of our intake specialists will then reach out to answer any questions you may have and schedule a brief phone consultation. During this call, we’ll ask you to share a little about yourself and discuss what you’d like to focus on in therapy!

How often would we meet?

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to therapy. In the beginning, we typically recommend meeting on a weekly basis. This gives us a chance to get to know one another, and as our work together develops, we encourage personal assessments so we can create a schedule that suits your specific needs.
