I have always wanted to see people live the life they want. Since 2015, I have worked in the mental health field specifically in case management, crisis management, and with clinical practice of individual and couples therapy; meeting each person where they are in their unique experience. My motivation is to be a team in building the ideal life for you. Together we will identify the behaviors you want to change and I will be there with you when your inner saboteur interferes.
In creating change towards the life you want, I employ a variety of therapeutic approaches. I have extensive experience practicing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) with an emphasis on being present in the moment in a non-judgemental environment.
Together we will build mastery in emotional regulation, effective coping skills, daily living activities, self assurance, distress tolerance skills, and other areas of need. I am excited to help you start your therapy journey.
