My goal is to make self-growth and change something feasible to commit to (even when you simultaneously feel stuck or fearful in the process). With a collaborative, person-centered approach I am here to help you navigate life’s challenges while also honoring our humanness. I will help you explore solutions for change and provide tools to help recognize the situations that are outside of your control. I have a passion for working with those struggling with mood regulation, substance abuse, emotional intensity, codependency, and destructive internal or external behaviors. Strong emphasis on DBT and CPT as well as MI techniques.

I combine traditional therapeutic approaches (cognitive-behavioral therapy, rational-emotive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy) with alternative approaches (brainspotting, pain reprocessing therapy, trauma-informed yoga).
Trauma happens when stressful experiences deplete our physical, mental, or emotional resources. Unresolved traumas can persist as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, physical pain or illness, and other distressing symptoms that wreak havoc on our daily lives. I do not believe that we "get over" our traumas, but rather that we find a way through them. As your therapist, I will walk beside you as you navigate your trauma journey and regain ownership over your personal story.

Therapy is an act of courage and self-advocacy to explore the uniqueness and depths of the human experience. It is an act inspired by curiosity and growth, aimed to guide you through your evolution to become whoever you want to be. It is a tool for humans to utilize as a way to explore the depths of who they are, work towards a narrative that aims to accept themselves as who they are, and work toward evolving into the vision of who they hope to be. I believe that most clients have what they're looking for when they walk through the doors. Therapy is a tool used to excavate and nurture what they already possess.

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.
