I have experience in trauma based therapies, cognitive behavioral and processing therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Gottman Method Couples therapy, EMDR trained.
I specialize in working with ages 15 and up. I offer a non-judgmental space that allows clients to express themselves and be open in session. I started as an educator and then a high school counselor prior to branching off into private practice. I enjoy helping individuals work through their difficult times and grow into who they desire to be. I don’t believe that a person needs “fixed” but more that you just need support while you grow and shift during a challenging time. I also enjoy helping couples reconnect and learn how to be the best partner they can be while keeping communication and intimacy intact.

With REBT and DBT, I can help clients find the right tools to help them with distress tolerance, combating irrational and rationalized beliefs to then form rational ones, emotional regulation, learn how to truly identify and feel our emotions and developing interpersonal relationship skills.
Life can become difficult out of nowhere or maybe it feels like no matter what you try it has always been hard. Often times this is due to not having the right skills to be able to navigate through our emotional response to what has happened to us or what we may have done. It is my goal to provide a space for any client to be comfortable enough to open up and not worry about judgment or being heard, I also call my clients out on destructive behaviors or beliefs. I do this because as humans we tend to be blind to them and having an unbiased person to do that for us can be extremely beneficial for our growth.

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.
