I was drawn to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) after seeing how powerful these skills can be in helping people navigate overwhelming emotions and challenging relationships. When I discovered that mindfulness was at the heart of DBT, it felt like a natural fit.

Through my training with Behavioral Tech®, I’ve come to appreciate how DBT helps us balance two important truths: accepting ourselves as we are while also working toward meaningful change.

I enjoy helping clients turn insight into practical skills they can use in everyday life, building greater emotional balance, healthier relationships, and confidence in navigating life’s challenges.

Trauma can shape how we feel, think, and respond to the world, sometimes long after an experience has passed. Even when we understand what happened, the emotional impact can continue to affect our daily lives.

As a Master Practitioner in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and a Certified Brainspotting therapist, I offer approaches that help clients process difficult experiences and work toward relief from the lasting effects of trauma.

I believe healing involves more than understanding the past. It’s also about creating space to feel more grounded, connected, and free to move forward.

 I believe healing sometimes requires exploring new approaches, especially when traditional therapy hasn’t brought the relief you’ve hoped for.

As a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) therapist, I offer a supportive space for clients to explore their experiences, gain new perspectives, and work toward meaningful change. My approach combines therapeutic support, mindfulness, and integration to help you make sense of your experience and carry those insights into everyday life.

KAP can offer another pathway for those feeling stuck in longstanding emotional patterns or seeking a deeper connection with themselves. My role is to help you feel supported throughout the process, with compassion, curiosity, and respect for your individual journey.

Ketamine medication is prescribed and managed by an independent medical provider. Harmony Harbor provides therapeutic preparation, support, and integration.

My connection to mindfulness began through yoga in 2010, and it continues to influence both my personal life and my work as a therapist.

I believe emotional well-being is connected to the whole person, including how we care for our minds, bodies, and relationships. Through specialized training in mindfulness-based stress reduction, I’ve learned how awareness, presence, and self-compassion can help us respond differently to stress and difficult emotions.

When appropriate, I incorporate mindfulness and mind-body practices into therapy, helping clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and connection with themselves.

Sometimes the most meaningful changes begin with learning to slow down, notice what we need, and respond to ourselves differently.
