My ideal client is the person who struggles with emotional dysregulation and communication issues that prohibits them from enjoying healthy, long term relationships.
I am a certified Dialectic Behavioral Therapist and am very experienced in working with populations that struggle with social connections due to interpersonal conflicts deriving from emotional dysregulation. I teach DBT emotional regulation skill sets in both individual and group settings.
My focus is working with people who struggle to have a satisfying life due to an inability to find emotional balance in their lives. When one has no emotional balance, it makes it difficult to find any satisfaction in one's life experience, which often leads to maladaptive behaviors such as substance abuse, hypersexuality, and unhealthy relationships.
