I’m a social worker and like to help clients look at the world and their struggles through their own individual lens as well as bigger systemic perspectives. I believe community, nature (and humor!) are very important healing tools that reinforce and support DBT and RODBT work. I focus on supporting clients by meeting them where they are and honoring that they are the experts in their own lives. I love helping people find their own strength and healing abilities using DBT skills and nervous system regulation. I have a background in comedy, theater and creative writing and I think that influences my therapy style. I have training in motivational interviewing, attachment theory, and trauma work. I specialize in working with adolescents and also love working with adults. I strive to make my practice inclusive and welcoming to all and consider myself an LGBQTIA+ ally and advocate committed to learning and advocating for equality, equity and inclusion. It is always my goal to work myself out of a job. I want to empower people to use the tools they learn and build confidence in their own abilities to manage stressors and regulate their emotions so that my support feels unnecessary. I see therapy as collaborative, creative and value the client’s input. If I sound like a good fit for you, I’d love to talk!
