My clinical work is focused on treating individuals with co-occurring psychiatric, medical, and addictive disorders. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As a trauma-informed therapist, I provide a supportive environment to help you explore an existing problem from a new perspective.

I am devoted to helping you achieve lasting changes that lead to living a more fulfilling life. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and compassionate, tailored specifically to your individual needs. My role is to be a consistent and supportive presence in your life and empower you to facilitate personal growth, and insight, and expand your healing capacity.

Suffering can be invisible. Yet through great struggle comes tremendous growth. From my own experiences, I found that spreading the message of hope is so important. My passion is helping others maximize their strengths, enhance their well-being, and learn tools for coping with life's challenges.

I love playing music, reading, walking in nature, and connecting with others. These are my self-care activities that help support my work and my ability to stay present in my life.

I have a daily gratitude practice that allows me to bring attention to the things that I might have otherwise taken for granted. It seems easier to identify what's going wrong and focus on those things than to take a minute and acknowledge what is going well.

I love The Count of Monte Cristo because it's a story of perseverance. It is a beautiful fairy tale of love and revenge but underneath it is also a story of hope and the importance of never giving up.

I have two cats and a few years ago one of them escaped my home and was wandering around the neighborhood. Luckily, he had a collar because I didn't even realize he was gone until the police knocked on my door to return him. He is a notorious trouble maker so I was not surprised that he had been arrested for trespassing!
