Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Granite Bay, CA

My approach is one rooted in recognizing we all struggle with something and face challenges in life that we could use support through. Having been on both couch as a client and in the chair as a provider, I am fully aware of the vulnerability that growth requires and the importance of trust in the therapeutic relationship. I strive to show appreciation for each person I work with and to engage with clients in an authentic and comfortable way that is conducive to progress and change.

Let’s face it, we are on this earth for too long to be consumed with sadness, self-doubt, poor motivation or anxiety. You may be caught up in a belief that you can’t change your life, but let me assure you that it IS possible! If you let yourself dream for a moment, and I mean really dream, what does your life look like? Are you content? Are you energized? Are you reaching your potential?

The healing process is an incredible journey, and I believe therapy can result in greater self-awareness by giving clients new skills to thrive and develop a deeper relationship with themselves and the world around them. To me, healing represents a journey in which you are able to explore past and present as well as develop the tools needed to work through life’s obstacles. I use a person centered, strengths-based approach that is collaborative and mindful. I strive to foster a safe space where clients can tell their story, and gain insight, all while providing a safe and secure relationship.
