Going away to school, adjusting to your new adult role in life, managing various roles in your life can be exhausting and overwhelming. My ultimate goal is to create validating, non-judgmental environment to help you feel safe and comfortable. I believe in offering support, guidance and knowledge to each of my clients.I have been trained in DBT therapy to teach you skills to manage emotions, improve relationships, and modify behaviors. You can develop the healthy life you desire. Humans experience emotions! Sometimes we may think there is a right way and a wrong way to feel and distress means, we are feeling the wrong way.

My clinical focus is creating an environment that is safe, unique to your personal needs, and promotes personal growth.
