I have comprehensive experience as a behavior interventionist working with children, adolescents and adults facing various mental health concerns. I enjoy helping my clients discover their strengths, interests and unique qualities to create a more fulfilled life. In my practice, I integrate the practical and mindful components of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with a person-centered, relatable approach. I emphasize the impact compassion, understanding and cultural sensitivity can have in creating a safe and therapeutic environment for healing. When people ask about my career, I light up because I have the best job in the world. I’ll often share with others, “My job is all about caring for and supporting people who need it. How amazing is that?” When you come to see me in therapy, you will feel the love and passion I have for my work. Although I recognize the importance of my extensive training and education, it is my love for psychology, human behavior and people that I find to be the critical factor leading to progress in the therapy room. Effective therapy is possible when a meaningful and safe relationship with the individuals and families I care for is created. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents and families in need of a caring adult able to offer additional support and guidance for life’s challenges.
