My Approach to Therapy

I view therapy as a goal-directed, deeply collaborative process where we work side by side to define meaningful paths toward lasting growth. My practice is centered on providing a compassionate, grounded space to help you gain clarity, master practical emotional regulation techniques, and cultivate the mind–body connection. Integrating evidence-based modalities—including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Attachment Theory—I tailor our work to your individual values. Drawing on a comprehensive background in clinical social work, public health, and higher-level care management across residential and day treatment settings, I offer structured, trauma-informed care rooted in cultural humility to support you through life's pivotal transitions.

Who I Work With

I work with individuals who are ready to take intentional steps toward self-discovery and emotional balance. Whether you are navigating anxiety disorders, PTSD and trauma recovery, OCD, ADHD, executive functioning hurdles, or major life changes, we will cultivate a safe, supportive partnership to help you process stuck patterns and build enduring resilience.
