My clinical approach is strength-based, culturally humble, and trauma-informed. I believe in working in a collaborative non-judgmental space to meet your needs and treatment goals. I'm experienced working with individuals with anxiety, depression, substance-use disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and other challenges related to life transitions and trauma across the lifespan. I primarily utilize a DBT or ACT-based art therapy approach with a critical social- justice lens and have significant experience implementing this approach with resilient adolescents and emerging adults.

Welcome! I recently completed my PhD in Psychology, Public Policy, and Law, meaning I have a more in-depth understanding of the intersection between the mental health and criminal justice systems - this does not make me a clinical psychologist. I have also been recently certified as a Certified Personality Disorder Provider (C-PD). My primary therapeutic modality is Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which has been empirically proven to help individuals struggling with self-harm, suicidal ideation, intense mood fluctuations, unstable relationships, poor emotion regulation capabilities, and frequent impulsive & risk-taking behaviors.

Using techniques from different therapies including CBT, DBT, Attachment Theory and Narrative therapy with a psychodynamic, person-center approach I offer a way out of the struggle.
Quite often people are reluctant to admit to having problems. Life is difficult when your problems are long lasting and impair your ability to function adequately in the world ie at work, school or in the home. Life is difficult when you can't seem to maintain satisfying, safe relationships w/others. You may feel that there's something wrong with you or that you just aren't ever going to be able to have the kind of life you want. And it's not for lack of trying. Perhaps you just don't know what to do. All that you have tried to do seems to have failed and left you floundering, frustrated and feeling hopeless.

Namaste! Have you ever been told, "You're too sensitive. Get over it, move on!" Do you process events deeply, noticing nuances? Do you have strong emotions of anger, sadness, guilt, worry? Do other people's moods affect you? At times is your environment too loud, bright, or overstimulating? Have you used sex, relationships, food, shopping, etc. as a way to self-soothe to the point of over-indulgence or addiction? You may be a Highly Sensitive Person or HSP. HSPs can have higher rates of anxiety, depression and overwhelm. By developing skills like self-compassion, mind/body /spirit connection, you can thrive rather than just survive.

Many clients come to work with me at a time in their lives when they feel disconnected from themselves, stuck in their relationships, or when they are experiencing a major life transition. During these times, people often believe something is wrong with them and fear that others will judge them if they open up about their true feelings. As a result, many people stay quiet about their pain and feel lonely. Being a therapist has taught me that the struggles we encounter in life are far more common than we realize and your healing can be possible with my support.

Most of us seek therapy in crisis: facing divorce, job loss, a cancer diagnosis, etc. This means danger and opportunity. The danger is shutting down (hiding your feelings) or "acting out" (fighting or seeking comfort in affairs, the internet, alcohol/drugs etc.). The opportunity is to learn new ways to connect deeply with yourself and those you love; to accept and express your deepest feelings and needs; and to hear others' feelings with openness. You can create your life anew and authentically. I know this road personally. And I welcome you, as you share your journey from crisis to growth.

Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
