Maybe you often find yourself stuck in the past, unable to let go of what’s happened. Maybe you’re struggling to build meaningful relationships. Maybe it’s hard to believe in yourself and find confidence in who you are. This leaves you feeling anxious and drained; lacking energy to live your life. Life is hard--but together we can make it easier. I can be that person who you can pour your heart out to, without fear of judgment. I want to know what makes you, you. I’m ready to help empower you to make positive changes in your life.
Through our work, you can learn to live in the present and find acceptance of the things you cannot control. You can change the way you think about and react to your life’s circumstances. By the end of therapy, you’ll rediscover happiness. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. Together we can find it.
The first step is to call or e-mail for a free 15 minute phone consultation. We can answer any questions you may have and help you schedule an appointment.

DBT groups provide you with concrete skills to reach your goals and live a life you love. The group format allows you to build new skills while also building new relationships with people are also facing similar struggles. This creates an environment of empowerment and universality that accelerates the growth process. Research has shown that the combination of individual and group therapy is in many cases more powerful than individual therapy alone. Already have an individual therapist? That's ok, you can still join one of our groups while maintaining your current therapist. (Online Only)
