Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
“Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted from trying to do everything right, yet still feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or stuck. They may struggle with perfectionism, self-criticism, or difficulty relaxing and opening up with others. I specialize in Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) to help clients who struggle with overcontrol, perfectionism, rigidity, social isolation, and difficulty expressing emotions. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in the latest evidence-based practices. I also draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and neuroscience to help clients build flexibility, openness, and connection in order to create an authentic life worth sharing.”
