I focus on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—by integrating a variety of therapeutic techniques, combining evidence-based practices with alternative approaches to support overall well-being. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a range of mental health concerns, including neurodevelopmental disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, and trauma. I believe in the power of collaboration, working alongside my clients to understand their unique experiences and challenges in a safe, supportive environment. While I take a client-centered approach, rooted in deep empathy and respect for each person’s journey, I also recognize that growth often requires challenging old patterns. I’m not afraid to take a more direct stance when needed, pushing clients to break through barriers and make progress. This flexibility is essential to my approach, knowing when to guide gently and when to challenge in order to facilitate meaningful, lasting change.

My commitment to supporting mental health goes beyond clinical expertise. I believe in the power of continual learning and personal growth to provide the most effective care, ensuring that each individual I work with is treated with the compassion, respect, and attention they deserve.

When I'm not doing therapy..

Outside of therapy, I make sure to prioritize relaxation and personal growth in ways that keep me energized and balanced. I love to go hiking and traveling, and I’ve had the chance to go backpacking across the West Coast of the United States and explore Europe when time allows. These adventures keep my sense of wonder alive and help me recharge.

During the winter, I stay active with ice skating, snowshoeing, and indoor volleyball. In the summer, you’ll often find me beach hopping and playing competitive beach volleyball. Volleyball is a big passion of mine, and I thrive in the challenge of the competition. When I’m feeling lazy, I’ll unwind with a good horror movie marathon—it’s my go-to guilty pleasure.

I also make it a priority to stay consistent with my physical health, hitting the gym regularly to maintain both physical and emotional well-being. These activities help me stay grounded, ensuring I bring my best self to my work and relationships.
