My specialty is working with adults and teens with emotional dysregulation, self-harming behaviors and difficulty with impulsive, destructive and self-destructive behavior. I offer fully adherent DBT. Adherent Dialectical Behavior Therapy has the most evidence showing it to be an effective treatment for suicidal people and people with Borderline Personality Disorder and BPD traits. I also treat other other Cluster B and Cluster C personality disorders using Schema Therapy and elements of RO-DBT. I also treat trauma both in adolescents and in adults using Brainspotting and DBT prolonged exposure.
I love teaching skills to help people manage their life in a healthier way and get the results from their life that they want, reduce emotional suffering and build a life worth living. We also work to get at the root of the problem which leads to troubling behaviors that impact our ability to achieve goals and have close relationships with others.
I believe therapy is where we work together to help you build the life you want and overcome the difficulties you face. I absolutely love being able to walk with someone on their journey to mental health and see people move away from a life of pain and chaos into a life that is joyous and peaceful. We, as Dr. Linehan says, "Build a life worth living."
