I have my undergraduate degree in education and master’s degree in social work from the University of Missouri- St. Louis.

I use an eclectic approach in psychotherapy including approaches that build emotional resilience and skills, examine and change problematic patterns, and increase self-acceptance and mindfulness.

My approach draws from extensive experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, along with the compassionate, reflective approaches of Tara Brach and Byron Katie. I also have a strong background in grief, parenting, and relationship concerns. I blend these approaches to help clients better understand themselves, navigate difficult emotions, and create meaningful, lasting change.
