Throughout my life, I have always been fascinated by how the brain works and how it influences our thoughts, feelings, and emotions. In college, I studied the impacts that trauma has on our brains through neuroscience research. I always thought I would have a career in a research lab, until I had my first internship at a private practice. There, I saw the impact of group therapy and watched the power of human connection unfold.
With over 5 years of experience working with addiction and mental health, I am dedicated to empowering individuals to grow into their best self. I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy and tailor our sessions to your needs. I use evidenced based practices in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I am trauma informed and believe you are the expert of your own life. Having a strong support system can help individuals prevail over challenges and maintain a state of physical and mental well-being – let’s connect so I can be a support to you!
