I believe that successful therapy is like gardening: You must provide the best-growing conditions with good soft soil, warming sunlight, and consistent water. Whether you are new to therapy or a long-time participant, let’s imagine that we are just two people planting seeds together and watching them grow. I am determined to ensure that my clients are given a safe, comforting space to delve into their therapeutic process. As a therapist who works extensively with people who have experience trauma, my first priority is to maintain a safe space so that clients can explore what lies beneath the surface of their daily lives. Because of this, I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is of the utmost importance.

I practice from various modalities depending on the individual’s specific needs; I recently completed a fellowship at The University of Chicago in Contextual Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, am a practicing CADC (Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor), and have professional experience working in treatment programs, such as IOP’s and hospital settings.
