I specialize in helping clients develop practical tools for an improved lifestyle and create a safe space for sharing their experiences. My clients often appreciate this environment, which allows us to explore the tools they currently use and figure out which ones work best for them, as well as those that may need updating. I work primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic lens, believing that our thoughts are connected to our behavior, mood, and engagement in life—whether in school, work, or relationships—making a healthier mindset key to transformation.
I also incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to build a "toolbox" of coping skills for managing mood, relationships, and stress successfully. Together, we will identify patterns throughout your life, create a plan of action, and help you feel stronger, confident, and capable of significant change. If you’re ready to take charge of your life and create a new path that invites strength, tranquility, and pleasure, I'm here to support you through this journey.
