As a Master’s Level Therapist, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for clients to share what is important to them. My goal is for clients to feel heard, understood, and empowered to make changes.

I approach therapy by first getting to know my clients better and validate their experiences. I work to develop a therapeutic relationship that relies on authenticity, honesty, and humor when appropriate. I also use a cognitive framework to understand my client’s core beliefs and how they might be affecting them in the present. I firmly believe that exploring the origin of our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world is vital to understanding who we are.

I use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop skills to broaden their beliefs, respond to negative self-talk, create new habits, work through interpersonal difficulties, and regulate their emotions. I feel my approach is appropriate for a variety of concerns, particularly those related to anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, emotion regulation difficulties, life transitions, relationship/marriage concerns, grief, and low self-esteem.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two dogs, cooking, and doing any outdoor activity! I am also known to always have a puzzle in progress.
