Professional statement

I’ve worked in a variety of clinical settings, with my primary focuses being Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I bring years of experience supporting Veterans, individuals navigating substance use, those living with PTSD, and survivors of violence.

Mental health is something many people struggle with, yet often don’t take the time to address fully. I’m here to support you in discovering what you can do — offering guidance and walking alongside you as we navigate the path toward healing and growth.


Message to clients

Therapy, like any meaningful change, can feel intimidating. My hope for you is that together, we can uncover what the best version of your life. We begin with radical acceptance — meeting ourselves exactly where we are — and from there, we explore where the road may lead.
