Approach to Helping

Effective treatment happens in the context of a strong therapeutic relationship. I am a relationship driven therapist who uses a blend of modalities including psychodynamic, mindfulness, DBT and EMDR. Whether your goal is to live a life that feels more meaningful, to experience more joy, to cope with life’s difficulties in healthier ways, or to reduce destructive patterns of behavior, I will create a non-judgmental space in order to support and challenge you to reach your goals.

Although trained as a generalist, my areas of expertise include: Depression, Bipolar 2, Racial Trauma/Racial Identity Issues, Borderline Personality Disorder, Chronic Health Issues and Trauma.

My work is important to me and I love what I do. I am a lifelong learner, always striving to become better at my craft and I work very hard to create an atmosphere that fosters transformation and healing. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to better mental health.
