I understand that healing is not linear, and I recognize that you are the expert of your own life. I will offer a nonjudgmental space for you to share your story, and I will collaborate with you to make the heavy stuff a bit lighter to carry.
I am experienced in treating a variety of mental health conditions, from mild depression and anxiety to severe mood disorders. I am able to tailor to the unique needs of each individual, as I hold certifications in DBT, TF-CBT, and EMDR. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I am especially passionate about supporting clients through their trauma, in an effort to build a fulfilling life beyond past suffering.
Your willingness to seek out help is courageous. I am confident that, together, we can overcome challenges and progress toward your goals.
Outside of the office, I am a devoted dog mom to my golden retriever. I enjoy going to concerts, spending time with loved ones, and enjoying the outdoors. I am an avid traveler; eager to learn more about this world and retreating to the ocean whenever I can.
