About My Clients

Using a holistic approach, I will work with you to help you achieve your goals and work towards that life that you are proud of. Therapy can be a powerful space for growth, love, and healing. I have experience with diverse experiences from personality disorders, PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use, ADHD, and unhealthy sexual behaviors. Healing is messy but totally worth it. Let’s work together through the messy parts.

My Background and Approach

I often use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your sessions, we will explore what brought you to therapy and explore what you want to start working on. With DBT, we will work to build coping skills, finding ways to manage emotions better, and managing stressors better. I will use motivational interviewing and will work with you and figure out where you want to go and what goals you have and work with you towards your goals. I often utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help challenge negative thoughts and work to find ways to work through various mental blocks.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

It’s never too late or too early to be whoever you want to be. You can start whenever you want. You can make the best of things or the worst of things. You can live a life that you are proud of and if not, there is help to start over. You just need to take the first step. I want to work with you to help you figure out what your first steps are. My goals are to help you navigate daily life, figure out what you need, make decisions, figure out what went well and what did not go well, and grow to make changes to help us get you to where you would like to be.
