I utilize a person-centered and an eclectic therapeutic approaches while incorporating psychoeducation, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques.
The weight of emotional pain can be unbearable and lonely. It is difficult, impossible even, to envision feeling better, feeling fulfilled, feeling connected or just feeling like yourself again. These emotions may result from substance use/abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, or life/work stressors. I understand how daunting this first step can be and I provide a safe, warm space to help you make your way through this and find your healthy path.

My approach encompasses a blend of evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, somatic techniques, and mindfulness practices.
Our shared aspiration is to find happiness and freedom from suffering. Life often leads us astray from our envisioned path, leaving us uncertain about what our ideal existence entails. At times, overpowering emotions like fear, anger, sadness, or shame dictate our actions and choices, causing us to lose sight of our authentic selves. Yet, within this pain lies the potential for profound transformation, as we discover awareness, insight, compassion and hope. Through the therapeutic process, we will embark on a journey to explore your unique experiences, unearth your truth, and initiate the healing of both past and present wounds.

I utilize evidenced-based theories (ACT, DBT) to help you develop new skills, and lean into your current strengths/values so you can work toward your goals and live with a renewed sense of purpose.
Do you often find yourself struggling with wondering if it is ok to feel the way you do about things? Perhaps part of you thinks it is time to set some boundaries (with family, work, your partner) but you aren't sure how or if you're even entitled to do so? You want things to be different, but it feels like there's something in your way. In my work with clients, we focus on two main areas, what I call the “why” and the “how”. The “why” is about working together to gain a deeper understanding of where your concerns began. The “how” is about what you do with that knowledge to move toward a life you'd enjoy living more.

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.
