I've been intensively trained in Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO- DBT) and lead an online RO- DBT group weekly.
Life can be challenging, especially when feelings of pain, confusion, sadness, and anxiety seem to hold us back. If you're experiencing moments of feeling stuck or overwhelmed, know that you're not alone. Sometimes, receiving an external perspective and validation can help you better understand yourself and embrace that person confidently. I offer tools for empowerment, confidence, and peace.

I use CBT, DBT, IFS, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy as useful concepts to best suit your needs in your inner-self discovery.
Sometimes it is difficult to make sense of feelings, learning how to manage them, and being able to find healthy ways to express your inner self. Therapy is a safe space and confidential process that through time, consistency and work together will allow you to identify and develop a healthy voice to express difficult feelings. Connection and Bonding in therapy promote resiliency, stimulating and feeding the mind. Feeling heard, being seeing, feeling that we have a purpose in life is a vital, indispensable healing and nurturing process of psychotherapy.
