I am a skilled licensed (LMHC) psychotherapist with experience in helping individuals achieve their wellness goals. I believe that therapy works best when there is a collaboration between therapist and client. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is inclusive, accepting, and safe, where you can explore important issues, process your concerns, and gain insight into your values and behaviors.
I have received professional training in mindfulness-based therapies with person-centered treatment methods: advanced training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with an interest in Compassion Therapy.
