About My Clients

I am here to work with just about anyone who is motivated toward the change they want to see in their life. I have experience with a diverse array of populations and presenting problems; from severe mental illness, addiction, and personality disorders, to people who just want to get back in touch with their hope, inspiration, and drive to be the kind of human they want to be. I am also happy to work with couples who want to work on healthier dynamics and increasing closeness.

My Background and Approach

It is my belief that most issues can be improved through building self-compassion, reducing shame, and learning new approaches so that we can have more choice in the paths we take. I pull influence from DBT, ACT, EFT, and other modalities that I have learned aspects of- however, your sessions will be tailored to your unique needs. Being a human is hard, no matter what you have been through! All of us deserve support.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I care deeply about centering the values and beliefs of my clients in the therapy room. That means that I am happy to work with anyone, regardless of their background or beliefs and how similar or dissimilar they are to my own. I offer a secular space that is faith-affirming for a diversity of beliefs. If it feels important to know more about my spiritual beliefs, sexual identity, or more details about my ethnic background, I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
