If therapy hasn’t worked for you before, it may be because conditions like personality disorders, chronic anxiety, and emotional dysregulation require highly specialized treatment. I provide dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) delivered as it was intended. I take a client-centered approach, tailoring therapy to each individual’s unique needs and goals. As my work is rooted from an integrative approach, I use multiple evidence-based modalities including CBT, and ACT to provide flexible and individualized care. I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relational issues and many other problems. Reach out today!
I work with teens and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and relationship challenges. With a focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship, I collaborate with clients to explore underlying patterns, build insight, and develop practical coping strategies that support meaningful growth and lasting change.
I provide a warm and non-judgmental environment where your well-being is my priority, and together, we build a foundation for lasting positive change! In a supportive space for personal growth, you can confront daily hurdles and receive more than just a listening ear; you'll find a safe and caring place to explore all your thoughts and feelings.
