I specialize in comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, relationship conflict, behavior and emotion dysregulation, and self-harming. Whether you're struggling with relationship or family issues, work stress, or overwhelming emotions, I'm here to support you. Together, we’ll identify the goals that are important to you and strategies to help move you in a new direction. We'll work specifically on coping skills to help you tolerate and shift painful emotions, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, build more effective habits, and start creating a life you actually want to live.
I provide Dialectical Behavior Therapy, an evidence-based treatment. My style is warm and interactive. During session, we will work actively on exploring goals, barriers, and effective solutions. I am committed to LGBTQ+ affirming and culturally responsive care, and strive to create a non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings openly.
I truly understand how difficult it can be to reach out for support. You might be feeling a mix of fear and uncertainty. I want you to know that you’re not alone, and it’s okay to seek help. I'd be happy to connect and discuss your needs. To schedule a free 15 minute consultation and get a feel for my approach, please email or call the contact below.
