Hi there, I'm Pinky!

Starting therapy can be scary and nerve-racking. I commend you on beginning your journey, and I am here to make sure you get the quality care that will work for YOU. I work with individuals, couples, and families to assist in navigating your past and current life situations to lead to a more positive future.

My focus

I work with individuals from children to older adults struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, LGBTQ support, negative thoughts, trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, and grief. We will work together to create a plan for positive growth and show you that it is achievable while empowering you to reach your goals.

My approach

I use approaches chosen based on your needs. I most often use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to reshape unhelpful thoughts. Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy may be used to focus on skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. We will work together to determine the approach that fits you.
