Each person comes to therapy with a unique story to tell. My role is to listen to your story, to
witness your struggles and successes, and to empower you to make the changes you want.
Therapy can help people from all walks of life face the challenges that come with being human,
and feel more at peace when difficult things do happen.

I am entering the field of psychotherapy as a second career. For the past decade, I have worked
as a physical therapist. I have seen how the mind and body are closely linked and how
challenging it can be to find help with mental health.   My approach is collaborative and client
centered. I also draw from evidenced-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I practice from an anti-oppressive, body positive, inclusive
perspective and am LGBTQIA+ affirming.

All people are capable of transformative healing. This is something I believe strongly and carry into services I provide. I have a passion for connecting with clients in ways that they feel heard, validated, and accepted exactly where they are. The bravest thing a person can do is ask for help, and I value acknowledging the strengths present in each client who comes into session.

I believe in the potential of each person to overcome obstacles, past and present, because I have witnessed growth and change in myself and others through seeking services. As a provider, I aim to align with clients’ values and desires. I aspire to be an unconditional support and assist in guiding the process of healing for each individual.

I have worked with clients experiencing substance use disorders, eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, and learning/intellectual differences. As a provider, I apply evidence-based, empowerment-driven methods to assist in providing tools and strategies focused on clients’ goals. I apply a collaborative approach to ensure the best level of care possible for each individual. Together, we are stronger than when we stand alone.

Therapy is a lifelong journey filled with ebbs and flows. There may be times when you attend therapy weekly, or you may step away for a few years. My goal is to help you create a plan to manage and live a values based life amidst challenges that can be applied in the real world, because therapy does not end when our session is over. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment that encourages vulnerability. Therapy is an individualized and tailored approach that allows people to walk their journey at different paces. I recognize that you are the expert in your experience and encourage you to choose the path that is right for you.
