In my practice, I specialize in helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve meaningful personal growth. My approach integrates several therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This allows me to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and goals, particularly in areas of anxiety, emotional regulation, and life transitions.

​

I have particular expertise in helping individuals work through anxiety, rejection and abandonment issues, and developing effective coping strategies. My comprehensive background includes teaching at Columbia Basin College, where I brought mental health education to the community through courses in psychological theory, clinical interventions, and psychosocial development. This experience enhances my ability to explain complex concepts clearly and work collaboratively with clients.

​

Throughout my career, I've developed a deep understanding of mental health needs across the spectrum, including valuable experience in crisis response and Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM). I've served communities in their most difficult moments, including providing mental health and disaster services during Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. This broad foundation enriches my current work, helping clients build lasting resilience and well-being. 

​

I believe in creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their challenges, develop new insights and work toward meaningful change. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions, I'm here to help you build the skills and resilience needed for lasting well-being.
