It would be an honor to explore life with you, to learn the ways in which we can hold space for comfort and stillness, work through difficult challenges, and ultimately, understand ourselves and others more greatly. From my experiences working in both mental health hospital programs and in an addiction recovery center, I know that by improving insight and developing effective coping skills, people can transform their lives in really amazing ways, and I’d love to help you figure out how to do that too.

I believe in evidence-based treatment modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical-behavior therapy (DBT), harm reduction, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. These modalities can help lead to insight and provides skills that help us cope with the difficulties of life, while helping us to let go of the judgments and biases that transform us into our own worst enemy. Mindfulness is a practice that I will also incorporate in our sessions together to lead us to that desired stillness and clarity.

As a Gottman Level 1 certified clinician, I am also eager to support you and your partner/s in further understanding one another, deepening your connection, and navigating the ebbs and flows of life and a partnership. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you and your partner/s can explore desires, challenges, and curiosities. By fostering open and honest conversations, I help partners navigate through the complexities of sex and relationships with confidence and self-assurance.

Sometimes this work is not easy, but with a good amount of collaboration and some humor, we can manage anything.
