The therapeutic relationship is the most influential factor in achieving positive outcomes from therapy. Which is why I prioritize developing a strong partnership with my clients. As a partner in your journey, I value your needs and preferences for how therapy is delivered, and will adapt my approach to meet your unique needs.

I specialize in helping children, adolescents, and adults rise above traumatic experiences. Additionally, I am passionate about supporting people with overcoming self-harm and suicidality. I also have experience with, and am passionate about, helping individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, domestic violence, emotional dysregulation, and identity-related concerns.

My treatment approach is trauma-informed and incorporates aspects of Emotion-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, attachment theory, and creative arts.
