I have experience working with emerging adults and adults. I utilize a strengths-based approach to collaborate with clients, locate resilience, and assist them in recognizing their value and potential. My approach to therapy is conversational and compassionate. I integrate principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and psychoanalytic therapy to help clients to address their unique needs. I strongly believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship and use that relationship to empower and encourage clients to make meaningful change. 

What do you hope your clients get out of your work together?

My hope is that my clients gain insight, clarity, hope, and new skills to face challenges and achieve their goals. 

What led you to become a therapist?

I have been working in social work since I graduated college and I found that the most meaningful work that I did was sitting down with clients for one on one conversations. I believe a lot of healing can happen in those trusting and non-judgemental spaces so I went back to school and got my MSW so that I could do more of that work in a professional field. 

What do you do in your free time? 

In my free time I love to listen to music, read, exercise, get outside and connect with my loved ones.
