What do you specialize in or focus on in mental health treatment?:

I specialize in helping clients find the middle ground, and learning to accept that our life will always be full of obstacles but we can still appreciate the parts of life that feel gentle and beautiful. I love to teach skills from the DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) modality that can help when in a crisis, or that just help you cope with your day – whether that be through in the moment actions, mindfulness, or other various thought changing strategies.

What do you do in your free time?

In my free time, you can find me with a book and a huge reading goal for the year. If not reading, I’m trying new recipes by Half Baked Harvest or the Defined Dish – I love to cook! I also enjoy snuggling my two cats Cudi & Simba, meditating, and doing yoga.
