“I view my role in therapy as one of compassionately supporting you through meaningful and transformative change. I enjoy using a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), through a relational and developmental lens that is tailored to you and your needs. I work with individuals experiencing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, behavioral concerns, and perfectionism. My goal is to help you build resilience, strengthen emotional well-being, and find meaning and empowerment so you can navigate life’s challenges with confidence. I would be honored to be part of your journey towards deeper insight, stronger wellbeing, and lasting change.”
