My communication style

I provide a safe, authentic, and non-judgmental environment to honor the purpose those coping mechanisms once served. I will gently but directly challenge you. Compassionate challenge allows us to look honestly at the patterns holding you back so we can actively dismantle them.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a primary therapist in residential co-occurring treatment, I helped populations regulate their nervous systems and process deep developmental trauma. Transitioning to intensive outpatient levels of care, I led programming focused on CBT, DBT, and relapse prevention.

My goals for you

I believe that the struggles we experience today—are often smart adaptations our nervous systems developed to survive past trauma. By understanding these survival strategies through the lenses of attachment and Schema Therapy, we can identify your core emotional needs and the long-standing schemas that keep you feeling stuck.

Our first session

Your first session is a collaborative, pressure-free space focused on building mutual trust and mapping out your unique goals. Anchored in a supportive, person-centered environment, we will explore what brings you to therapy, look at your history, and identify any long-standing patterns or coping strategies that feel stuck.
