She can be found working with any adult looking for help, finding her niche with first responders, therapists, teachers, lawyers, doctors, and couples. Her clinical focus is eclectic with a basis in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) which focuses on mindfulness, emotional regulation, healthy relationships, and distress tolerance. She often uses thoughtful questioning and curiosity throughout the session.

She is a very relational therapist, using humor and compassion throughout her sessions. She knows therapy can be scary and is committed to creating a warm and non-judgmental space for her clients.
