About My Clients

My ideal client is navigating challenges with substance use, addictive behaviors, sexual health and wellness, or similar issues. They may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma, and are seeking a safe, supportive space to heal. Together, we explore the patterns that occur, focus on building resilience, and work toward greater emotional well-being, authenticity, and connection. I work with individuals 16+, can provide couples/family counseling, and have facilitated groups.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in DBT and psychoanalytic therapy using a trauma-focused, feminist, and systems-based lens. I help clients explore what themes show up in their lives, build emotional regulation skills, and heal within the context of their relationships and environments.
