Therapy Style
My approach to therapy is eclectic and tailored to what we decide you need out of therapy. It can be as structured or as free-flowing as you need. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and other modalities. At the end of the day, I believe it's about a safe space for you to explore your experiences and to have support while you create the changes you want to make in your life. I always show up in all my humanness to give you the freedom to do the same and bring warmth, creativity, and humor into our sessions.

What are your interests outside of work?
I love reading, baking, and being in nature.
What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?
I have a morning ritual that helps me set the tone for my day.
How do you recharge?
I recharge by spending time alone or with people closest to me. I love curling up with tea and a good book or watching a good movie.
