Taking the steps to seek support and imagining change in one's life is difficult. Your presence here reflects a hope for a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

My goal is to support individuals who are seeking to show up authentically in all parts of their lives. I strive to foster a collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel understood and receive support through a culturally sensitive lens that recognizes their unique intersecting identities. I work with people who desire to create a life that is less controlled by their reactions and more a product of their intentions. I use evidence-based techniques to empower clients to regain direction in their lives and clarity of their full potential. 

During sessions, I may pull from various therapeutic techniques informed by different theoretical models. The therapy model that most strongly relates to my therapeutic style is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). This model is similar to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in that it challenges the negative beliefs and patterns one holds and works to replace them with more productive thoughts and behaviors. The key difference is that DBT incorporates elements of acceptance and tolerance to address challenges that are beyond our control. 

My professional and personal experiences have shown me time and again that therapy can create extraordinary change. I've watched people move from surviving to thriving, discover unexpected resilience, and build lives that truly reflect who they are. Having experienced this transformation myself and witnessed it reshape countless lives, I am confident in both the therapeutic process and the incredible potential within each person. I'd be honored to support you on your journey toward greater authenticity and fulfillment.
