About My Clients

My passion has been to help those who are struggling with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues, among many others. Since everyone is on a different journey through life, not all treatment modalities are as effective. I have trained in DBT, CBT, SFBT, Motivational Interviewing, Seeking Safety, and Superhero Therapy.

My Background and Approach

Through my experience in all levels of treatment, I have discovered that building rapport through a supportive relationship in therapy creates a safe and positive space to work through life’s difficulties, understand important issues, learn new and effective coping skills, and develop full relationships to lead a more authentic life. I believe in working together to create treatment goals and exploring areas of growth.
