About My Clients

I work with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, self-harm, suicidal ideation, stress, relationship stress, change of life adjustments.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based approaches, meaning we’ll focus on building skills, finding solutions, and tapping into the strengths you already have (even if you don’t quite see them yet!). Therapy with me is not about dwelling on what’s wrong—it’s about creating real, meaningful change. You can expect a balance of gentle encouragement and direct honesty in our work together. I believe in meeting you where you are, and helping you navigate life’s challenges with practical tools, self-compassion, and a touch of humor. If spirituality is an important part of your journey, I can incorporate that in a way that aligns with your values and beliefs. No matter where you are on your path, you deserve support that feels authentic, uplifting, and truly helpful. Let’s work together to help you feel more confident, capable, and in

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I identify as a person with disabilities and neurodivergent.

I voulentear at my church as a lay leader and somehow working with 4th and 5th graders. However I have no desire to throw faith in your face.
