I utilize methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which are evidence-based approaches designed to promote emotional and cognitive regulation.
I believe the relationship between therapist and client is crucial to successful therapy and that change starts with being truly heard and understood. There are many techniques and ideas that can help you, and my role is to share these, build on your strengths, and increase your self-awareness so that you can make meaningful changes in your life.

My ideal client is someone who is looking for a change and has the energy and bravery to try. People who want to break free from the patterns of thought and behavior that hold them back from living their fullest life. As far as needs, people who need skills to get through the day-to-day, and goals can span a broad range of outcomes. I enjoy helping people find a way back to their core values and recover from real low points and difficulties in everyday life.

The best therapeutic fit is a client who is ready to go deep, surrender to the process, be challenged, undergo somatic interventions, and commit to growth of the mind, body, and soul. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, inner child work, and communication issues with adults seeking individual therapy in a virtual setting. The best results are exhibited by clients who are ready, trusting, willing to do the work, and are honest about how they feel. Egos will be stripped, laughs will be shared, techniques will be learned. Oh and there's always homework.

Hi! I am a bilingual therapist with over 20 years of experience. In 2000, I finished my Counseling education at Arizona State University. For the first few years, I worked in an in-patient mental health facility. Over time, I was more drawn to outpatient work and began starting my own Private Practice in 2006 called Life Transitions Counseling. Recently, I have spent time traveling the world working as a Military Family Life Counselor, aiding in the mental health care of our service members and their family members.

As a clinician, I work from a trauma-informed lens using EMDR and other therapies. I work with individuals, partners, couples, and polycules on a variety of issues related to love, sex and relationships. As a clinical sexologist, I find that an integrative model of drawing on all of the various types of therapies, uniquely mixed together to assist each of my clients in meeting them where they are, is how I am most effective in helping clients reach their therapeutic goals. I believe in the ethos of “helping others help themselves”; as a therapist, this is still my greatest strength and the cornerstone that has shaped my practice.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit for you is a stressful undertaking but worth the time and effort. I really enjoy working with individuals who are introspective, resilient, and want to make the most out of their time in sessions. While working in a training institute I have supervised many new therapists starting their careers and the most common complaint I have heard is that the therapist is "nice" or "supportive" but does not help the client make changes. Balancing support and validation with the push people need to live the life they want to be living is the true testament of the therapist's skill.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists

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.
