What are you looking for in therapy? Maybe you just need a little help getting through your day. Maybe you need a little extra support, someone in your corner to listen to you and help you untangle the thoughts in your head. Maybe you feel like you're going down the spiral, and nothing seems to bring you back. Let's talk about it. Let's work together to help you live the life you want, to find peace.

I have experience in inpatient and outpatient settings, and have worked extensively with people with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, and personality disorders. Borderline personality disorder, in particular, is an interest and specialty of mine. I use an eclectic approach based on your needs. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy,
mindfulness, and positive psychology. I am strengths-focused, and also think humor and light- hearted conversation has its place in therapy. You are the expert in your life; I am a guide to your healing journey.

My goal is to create a safe space for you to feel validated and empowered. If you are willing to find the comfort in the uncomfortable and try therapy, please feel free to contact me so we can work together to reach your goals!
