Here to Help You Heal
I am a licensed professional counselor specializing in helping adolescent and adult patients expand their resilience and coping skills to better navigate current challenges. While I specialize in treating root causes of chronic anxiety and depression, I am also here to assist those struggling with PTSD, compulsive disorders, behavioral/conduct issues, neurodiverse issues, grief, and life changes, with extensive experience working with patients managing substance use disorders.
My Approach to Care
Working together, you can expect a stable and calming environment where kindness and respect are the pillars in which a trusting relationship is built. I use an eclectic array of treatments to help achieve your goals, from cognitive interventions to somatic therapy, play therapy to creative interventions – all with an emphasis on expanding self-worth, healthy reward systems, and discipline. I am especially passionate about incorporating somatic interventions from a trauma-informed lens.
This multi-faceted approach is best described as flexible and tailored, keeping your unique needs and objectives as the focus at all times. I look forward to creating a safe, open space with you in our time together.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to becoming a therapist began as a teenager upon experiencing significant traumatic events with the loss of my older brother and cousin. These events developed and deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, empathic responses to those undergoing defining life changes. Now, I place high emphasis on not forgetting life experiences, but expanding on resilience to cope with and honor them.
Personal Interests
When I’m not in the office, I love spending my free time outside. Hiking, camping, fishing, snowboarding, attending live music shows, and even oil painting – I love it all!
