I come with a deep understanding and knowledge of what it is to be polyamorous/ENM and the unique challenges that can come with this relationship structure. Whether you need assistance processing through broken boundaries, dismantling couple’s privilege, or letting go of the relationship escalator, I’m here to help. I have lead support groups and guided folks through the tender process of discovering ENM for themselves and the complexities that come with.

In several of my settings since before coming to private practice, I have exclusively focused on helping people manage and process thorugh their trauma. I have focused much of my professional development on how to treat trauma in the therapeutic setting and have the most experience in working with survivors of interpersonal violence and sexual assault.

If you’re feeling overscheduled, ruminating about what another person may be thinking about you, people-pleasing behaviors, or physical ailments, you are not alone. I have helped numerous of people manage their anxieties and phobias to the point where they say, "I feel like my old self again." I have helped people with anxiety in every treatment setting that I have worked in since coming into the field over 10 years ago.

In several of my settings since before coming to private practice, I have exclusively focused on helping people manage and process through their trauma. Much of my professional development has targeted on how to treat trauma in the therapeutic setting and specifically with people who have surived domestic violence and sexual assault.

While working in a PHP/IOP setting, I was taught how to utilize DBT as a treatment modality. I provided interventions through DBT both "informally" as well as in a traditionally structured setting in DBT skills groups, individual therapy with diary cards, and attending DBT Consultation.

In my current position outside of private practice, I use SFBT as the treatment modality as the setting I work in allows only up to eight sessions. This has allowed my clients and I to create short-term attainable goals that have long-term implicatations as to how they percieve and interact with the world around them.

Just as many other therapists, I recognize that one treatment modality may not be the best fit for everyone who chooses to work with me. That is why I will utilize not only DBT and SFBT but also the treatment modalities listed on my profile. I use a variety of treatment modalities so that we can find the right one for you. I'm receptive to all feedback and want to make sure we address your concerns in a way that works for you.
