Reaching out to a professional takes courage. When struggles and unexpected challenges arise, it can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, OCD, and many other psychological and emotional symptoms. Sometimes stress leads to compulsive behaviors, including over indulging in alcohol and substance misuse. We encourage self-exploration into the patterns that keep individuals stuck, and prevent them from moving forward. We help client's capitalize on their strengths to focus on reaching their highest potential.

It’s exhausting trying to anticipate when these feelings will come back again. You can’t trust your own thoughts. It could be that your painful past or current stress isn’t going away on its own. On most days it takes more than that. Feeling stuck in a vicious cycle with no end in sight, you know you can’t handle this alone anymore. Maybe something happened, something very upsetting occurred, and it changed you. You’ll feel calm You’ll breathe again!

My DBT Skills groups provide an opportunity for learning and practicing the DBT skills outlined in Marsha Linehan's DBT Skills Training Manual. The full course of DBT consists of 4 modules - Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Typically, it takes about 26 sessions to cover all 4 modules. I am passionate about teaching DBT skills, not only due to the research support for the efficacy of the skills, but also due to positive changes I have seen in clients who engage in learning and practicing the skills. Please feel free to contact me for more information.

I am a licensed psychologist with a passion for helping people who are struggling with behaviors and negative thought patterns that prevent them from reaching their important life goals. I recognize that a number of factors in one's life can result in unhealthy coping strategies and behaviors that interfere with the ability to form healthy, rewarding relationships, positive self-esteem, and ability to thrive. I have studied and taught DBT skills for 10 + years and have been delighted to see clients progress and gain a sense of mastery over their emotions and lives through the use of DBT and other treatment modalities that I employ.
