Experience and Specialties:

With 8 years of experience in the field, I specialize in women's issues, adult ADHD, testing and evaluation, relationship issues, anxiety/stress, depression/mood disorders, and identity concerns. I work with a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, and mood disorders.

Therapeutic Approach:

My therapeutic style is integrative and influenced by developmental, humanistic, interpersonal, multicultural, and strength-based perspectives. I often integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Additionally, I lean on solution-focused and problem-solving approaches.

I am an engaged and caring therapist who aims to understand, encourage, and support you. Recognizing the courage it takes to seek support, I strive to provide a warm, safe, and confidential environment that fosters growth, learning, and healing.

Personal Interests:

When I'm not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three kids. I love reading fiction and am currently on a mission to read 52 books this year. I also enjoy weightlifting, dance fitness, trying new restaurants, and DIY experiments.
