I am the owner of Inner Wisdom DTC, LLC. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, a Masters of Arts degree in Clinical and Humanistic Psychology, and a Post Graduate Certification in Couples and Family Counseling. I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 20 years. I feel fortunate and honored to walk alongside my clients as they embark on their journey of self-discovery and healing.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important element in counseling because it provides the foundation and space for effective treatment and meaningful change. It creates trust and safety, which allows one to feel comfortable opening up in order to share difficult thoughts and feelings, and fosters vulnerability.

I blend several evidenced-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (which looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (which has many skills to help with emotional regulation), Internal Family Systems for individuals and couples (which helps us understand and heal our internal psychological system), EMDR (which is designed to help people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences), as well as various skill building, including boundaries, communication, codependency, etc.

My professional career has occurred in a variety of settings, experiencing and navigating different levels of care. My foundation includes substance abuse counseling, inpatient crisis care, IOP, PHP, and private clinics.
