DBT is an evidence based cognitive behavioral treatment that emphasizes individual psychotherapy and group skills classes to help people learn new strategies to develop a life that they experience as worth living. DBT skills include mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is effective in treating a wide range of issues such as suicidal ideation, nonsuicidal self-injury, depression, addictive behavior, PTSD, eating disorders and Borderline Personality Disorder. It has been shown to be more effective than hospitalization in the treatment of suicidality.

Welcome to your first step towards helping yourself to live the life you've been wanting. I believe what Carl Rogers once stated "a counselor is not an expert but a mirror for clients to see themselves." A counselor's acceptance and reflection of feelings creates a level of safety for deeper exploration and an opportunity for clients to increase their self-awareness which leads to positive action. I encourage my clients to be mindful of thoughts and feelings. By practicing mindfulness you are able to be focused and centered in your life.

Some clients are looking to stay near the surface, and work on coping skills and solutions to daily life problems. Others want to explore further into their own past or their inner world.

Even though all humans have similar needs - nutrition, sleep, connections, meaning - we can't all achieve these needs in the same way. The same is true for our mental health. That's why it's so important to find a therapist who is a good fit for you and work with them to figure out what's best for your needs. I work with clients experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and ADHD to improve thought patterns, revamp behaviors and habits, and build healthier relationships with others and themselves.

My practice focus is with individuals seeking support to navigate the emotional and physical healing of trauma, borderline personality disorder and anxiety.

I offer support through cognitive therapy for processing, teach you manageable mindfulness to soothe your nervous system and help you prevent emotional self abandonment with dialectical behavior therapy, helping you feel better right now and rescue your soul from the past.

Have you had an experience that was traumatic, or a history of early childhood trauma that has a grip on you, limiting the joy and love you want in your life?
