My ideal client is someone who can utilize the skills learned in therapy and apply them in their everyday life. Everyone wants to live the best possible life, full of joy, meaning, and purpose. Taking those steps can sometimes be difficult, depending on past experiences and diagnosis. In therapy, we will process clients’ experiences together to help them connect the dots and walk on their path toward mental well-being.
I treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and trauma. I also specialize in acceptance and commitment therapy for OCD, helping clients learn to manage intrusive thoughts and behaviors while aligning their actions with their core values. I have a strong passion for helping parents navigate their emotions in raising a child with autism or neurodivergence, as well as helping adults who are neurodivergent.
Mental health is health. Whatever you’re struggling with, this does not define who you are; it is something you have. I help empower clients to walk and build a life worth living for themselves. I work using CBT, DBT, REBT, IFS, EFT Tapping, and other modalities to provide skills and interventions for clients to utilize after they graduate from therapy. Clients are experts in their own lives. As a therapist, I help clients walk toward their passions and build a life for themselves they can be proud of.
