I am a licensed mental health (LIMHP) and substance abuse (LADC) therapist. I use evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My clinical background spans residential, Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and traditional outpatient settings, where I have treated individuals with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. I work with clients ages 16 and older. I provide outpatient therapy to those with mental health disorders, with a primary focus on supporting neurodivergent adults, particularly those on the Autism spectrum. As a neurodivergent clinician myself, I bring a deeply informed, empathetic perspective to this practice. My approach is collaborative and person-centered, meeting clients where they are to establish meaningful goals and support sustainable growth and recovery.

As a therapist, I provide a valuable and effective treatment method for those facing challenges in their day-to-day life. I look forward to guiding my clients in a supportive and safe environment towards self-discovery, personal growth, and healing. I utilize skills from training and experience in Internal Family Systems theory (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) modalities.

I provide therapy grounded in evidence-based approaches to guide clients through the therapeutic process. Drawing from Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), I utilize these approaches to support clients as they navigate their unique mental health journey. 

I provide holistic, trauma-informed therapy to support clients in exploring the root causes of their concerns. Drawing from my background as an art therapist, yoga instructor, mental health therapist, and substance use counselor, I take an integrative approach to healing that honors the whole person. I utilize evidence-based modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment-Focused Trauma Therapy for Adults (AFTT-A), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I believe in helping clients "Learn, Grow, and Heal" through a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic relationship. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe exploring both past experiences and present challenges. While self-understanding is an important part of healing, I also help clients move beyond intellectualizing their experiences by safely processing and feeling difficult emotions, fostering deeper healing, resilience, and personal growth. My approach combines evidence-based and experiential therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT),Internal Family Systems (IFS) ,Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), as well as attachment-based, somatic, and narrative therapies, to help clients gain insight, develop new skills, and create lasting change.

As a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner, I work with children and families to help them better understand emotions, build resilience, and feel more connected to themselves and one another. With more than 20 years of experience in education, school counseling, therapy, mindfulness, and parent coaching, I bring a whole-child and whole-family perspective to my work. I use approaches such as play, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based therapy to help children navigate anxiety, big emotions, life changes, and other challenges. I also believe that supporting a child means supporting the people who care for them. Through parent coaching and collaboration, I help caregivers better understand their child's behaviors and develop practical tools that can make everyday life feel more connected and manageable.
