I use CBT, DBT and an attachment style lens to help clients feel empowered by facilitating opportunities for self discovery and growth to gain back their self-confidence and control of their life.
Are you experiencing relationship issues? Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells in your relationship? Are you feeling confused about what is happening to you or still feeling the effects of past or ongoing trauma? Perhaps you’re in a bad relationship or have had a series of bad relationships or history of trauma. This can lead to you feeling like you are stuck in anxiety and depression and get in the way of living a fulfilled life. Life can bring about a number of unexpected challenges, often leaving us vulnerable and deeply impacted. You can reclaim yourself and your life and I am here to help you!

I am trained in accelerated resolution therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and exposure and response prevention.
I know what it's like to feel stuck, to second guess yourself, and to struggle with trusting others. Low self-worth, anxiety, stress, fear, and difficulty expressing/controlling emotions can be debilitating. Often times, these struggles come with dysfunctional beliefs and unhelpful thinking patterns. You are not alone. Healthy & meaningful relationships are attainable. Hope can be restored, healing can be found, and life can be renewed.

I help clients build up their self-esteem, learn new ways of thinking, and face the monsters in their own narratives through a combination of therapy types with a focus on narrative and DBT-informed therapies.
Everyone has a story to tell. Sometimes it is filled with dark twists and turns, shadows, and the unexpected. Other times it is full of light, gentle breezes, and warmth. Stories are often full of both and it can be daunting to try and revisit some of the harder chapters alone. I offer a place of solace for your stories. A place where we can open and read each chapter of it together, learn from them, and gather tools to face the battles ahead. A place where we can challenge the things that still haunt us from these stories, and then put them on a shelf, a reminder of where you came from and what you’ve overcome.

I am truly honored when chosen to be someone's therapist. This is a hard decision to make and one that is not always easy. I have had the privilege to work with individual clients ages 12 to 80 years old. I enjoy helping teen clients navigate uncharted middle and high school territories and beyond. I also really love to work with adults in transition and those who are navigating through big decisions that can create anxiety. I have worked with female clients wading through the deep waters of depression and childhood trauma. I am also looking to work with older individuals 60 and up and how to help them with grief and medical trauma.

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.
