About My Clients

My clients tell me how much better they feel after one session. I provide warm and caring conversation that will help you feel heard and understood. I want to hear your story! I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or that they are giving up their story to someone they don't know or don't feel they can trust. I believe in moving at a pace that is comfortable for you. Most clients tell me they feel that therapy with me is like talking to a friend while gaining insight and learning skills.

My Background and Approach

My therapy strategies include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction and Relapse Prevention to help facilitate meaningful changes. My approach is to weave these therapies into our conversation so that you never really feel like you're "doing therapy". I am also a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor and have helped many clients manage substance use issues. My clients have come to me seeking help for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, parenting support, relationship issues, academic struggles, poor job satisfaction, substance use, addiction, alcoholism, co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders (dual diagnosis), and other impulse-control issues including gambling, internet, pornography, and gaming. ​

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I want everyone to feel comfortable talking with me and want you to know that I am LGBTQIA+ allied and welcome clients of all races and religious backgrounds.
