Let's Connect (925) 289-9307
I help people 20 and older manage exhausting emotions that torture, pressure them into knee jerk reactions, and make relationships difficult. Using evidence-based practical techniques, with a dash of warmth and humor, we'll work together to see the big picture, map a path, and manage what's in the way of getting some peace.
Treatment intensity is tailored to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. I help people to manage overwhelming emotion and specialize in complex presentations of trauma, borderline personality disorder, and OCD. I’m passionate about helping people manage multiple concerns including suicidality, self-harm, and dissociation.
I’m intensively trained in standard Dialectical Behavior Therapy and DBT-PE for PTSD, from trusted trainers such as Behavioral Tech and The Practice Ground. I’m also trained in CBT and am a graduate of the Behavior Therapy Training Institute sponsored by the International OCD Foundation. Get started! Give me a call for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
