In my therapy practice, I blend evidence-based treatment methods with a compassionate, interpersonal approach. My priority is to support each of my clients in feeling seen, heard, and getting the healing and skills they need to live their most meaningful life. Throughout and after my doctoral training, I have developed a therapeutic approach that my clients find warm, non-judgmental and highly effective in working toward their desired goals.
I’m extensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a mindfulness-based treatment modality that can be truly life-changing for anyone struggling with compulsive behaviors or emotion dysregulation (read: your mood and emotions feel a rollercoaster).
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support you in learning how to notice when your brain is holding you hostage, and reframe to find freedom from the negative thought spiral. I also specialize in supporting clients to heal from a broad spectrum of traumatic events.
The main focus of my approach to recovery is helping others reconnect to their lives, families and loved ones. I support my clients in their evolving journey of self-discovery and healing. For the past 13 years, I have worked in all phases of recovery, starting as a tech, moving up to patient relations and group facilitator, and eventually director of client care.
“As a person in recovery myself, my passion is in guiding others in their journey to becoming sober, authentic, spiritual and productive individuals. Passion and personal commitment drive every step.”
