My approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), allowing me to create individualized treatment plans. I emphasize integrating body, brain, and behavior while building emotional awareness to support lasting change. My holistic approach addresses both mind and body for overall well-being.

Patients can expect a collaborative and curious space where their goals are explored with openness and intention. Early sessions focus on practical tools, identifying core values, and setting value-based goals that align with their personal growth and healing. As therapy progresses, we continue building insight, applying skills in real-life situations, and adjusting goals as needed to support meaningful and sustainable progress.

Patients often say they appreciate my ability to balance clinical insight with genuine understanding. As a parent and someone who has navigated anxiety and ADHD within my own family, I bring both personal and professional perspectives to my work. They have also shared that they feel more equipped to manage whatever it was that brought them to counseling and felt that out time together was very helpful.

Personal Interests

I’m married with four boys, so there’s never a dull (or quiet) moment! When I do get a breather, you’ll probably find me singing—sometimes just to drown out the noise, or enjoying my overly-microwaved cup of coffee.
