I utilize components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy.
As your therapist, my goal is to provide an individually-tailored approach by accepting you as you are and helping you transform into the best possible version of yourself. Life tends to be a mixture of peaks and valleys, which can be challenging. You do not have to embark on your journey alone. It is important to find fellow humans who respect, support, and care for you. I know it is difficult to jump right into therapy, so my approach is to go at your pace. I will challenge you to push yourself, but in a way that is helping you grow in your journey, not making you feel like you aren't strong enough, because you are.

I integrate training in DBT along with other approaches to teach new ways to cope and thrive.
“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” - Carl Jung You’re here because you know that you deserve better. When we’ve experienced events in our lives that cause significant distress it can be hard to remember that we’re worth continuing to care for ourselves and asking for help. Our emotions can feel so big that they take over and we feel powerless in our own decisions. The fact that you’re here and reading this tells me you’re ready to try something different.

My favorite modalities of treatment are CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), Motivational interviewing, Strength focused, and Solution focused.
What I bring to you as a therapist is… a calm nature, active listening, a nonjudgmental attitude, and a supportive relationship. As a therapist I understand that this is your journey, and I am here to be your sounding board. My goal is to foster effective self-reflection which will lead to finding personal tools to achieve your goals. Coming from a multi-cultural background it has allowed me to see things in all different lights and spaces. It has allowed me to observe and be present in ways not many people get to experience.

Does the past keep sneaking up on you whether that’s in the form of intrusive memories, difficult sleeping (nightmares, trouble falling asleep, or staying asleep), experiencing emotions of guilt or other overwhelming emotions that leaves you struggling for air, a constant low-grade anxiety that keeps you preoccupied, or staying constantly busy so that you can continue avoiding people, place, thoughts or situations. Maybe you keep telling yourself to put the past behind you but that doesn’t seem to work either. With trauma, you need something more even if sometimes you still question whether what you went through was traumatic.

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.
