I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship concerns, life stressors, and more. Life can be messy, overwhelming, and stressful…and yet also beautiful, joyful, and fulfilling. As an attentive and empathic listener, I help others recognize their strengths and work to create the inner and outer life experience they are seeking. My focus is on building a supportive and safe therapy space to promote healing, growth, and wellbeing. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed interventions.

I work with a Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Approach to help individuals accept and tolerate powerful emotions through mindfulness, acceptance, distress tolerance and emotional regulation.
Reaching out for help can seem intimidating, but it is the first step in doing something for you. Strength doesn’t come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming life’s challenges you once thought you couldn’t. Living with an eating disorder, anxiety or depression can feel overwhelming but you don’t have to tackle it alone. Therapy encourages open communication in order to bring awareness to your innermost thoughts and feelings.

I use DBT, CBT, and person-centered therapy techniques and have specialized training in crisis and trauma counseling.
When people first start therapy, there are so many questions they ask themselves. It is perfectly normal to feel nervous and not know what to expect. It is terrifying to notice when you are struggling and challenging to reach out for help. Deciding to call or email asking for help is incredibly brave. It is taking a step toward the possibilities for a better life and understanding yourself better. And that takes courage. I am so glad you took the first step toward achieving your goal of living your best life. And I can do that by listening to your story.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in internal family systems, somatic therapy, trans-feminism, and DBT to support self-acceptance and liberation.
I believe that all people have their own inherent wisdom and as a counselor, I aim to support clients to embody their truest, most authentic self. I use a non-pathologizing model to support you to identify and understand your individualized needs. I find that understanding, empathy, and collaboration, with a focus on grounding in the here and now develops self compassion and acceptance. Often when we are in pain we have trouble accessing those parts of ourselves. Healing and recovery can happen within a safe and compassionate relationship and I aim to provide that container with you.

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.
