Post-Doctorate Clinical Trainee
I believe in each person's unique drive for wellness, and I view prioritizing mental health as a necessary act of self-care for all people. I look forward to walking with you as you identify your therapeutic goals, develop insights, and learn new tools to help you achieve your goals. I strive to create a welcoming, warm, and safe space for you to explore your concerns and move forward on your path to improved psychological and emotional wellness.
My areas of specialty clinical approaches include CBT, DBT, ERP, mindfulness, and art therapy. Supporting individuals through the life changes of perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause is a passion of mine. I am an LGBTQ+ ally. I have experience working with individuals diagnosed with OCD, phobias, skin-picking, ADHD, substance use disorders, and complex medical concerns, including chronic pain.
You've taken the first step toward gifting yourself the opportunity to engage in therapy. It would be my privilege to build a therapeutic relationship with you to help empower you to meet your personal therapy goals.
