My Philosophy

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and a person-centered framework. I place strong emphasis on the role of families and home environments in promoting growth and emotional well-being. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change—trust, safety, and collaboration open the door to healing.

At the core of my work is the belief that every individual has innate resilience. Sometimes it just takes the right environment and support to access it. I recognize we are deeply shaped by our environments and experiences, and therapy can provide the space to explore, process, and respond with intention.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults ages 8 and up, with a particular interest in supporting athletes as they navigate the unique pressures of performance, identity, and transition. As a former college athlete, I bring first hand understanding, empathy, and a performance-informed lens to that work.

Above all, I approach therapy with empathy, curiosity, and respect, believing everyone can benefit from therapy when given the right tools, environment, and relationship to do the work.
