I specialize in DBT for Children. DBT for Children (DBT-C) is a treatment program that focuses on skill development for parents of kids who are emotionally sensitive and highly reactive. DBT-C focuses on changing the environment to meet the needs of the child. For this reason, the family is seen as the “patient". Adults, teens, tweens and children who would like to learn skills for coping with intense emotions and working towards a life worth living. We want to grow and learn how to change certain behaviors.

Life’s emotional journey does not always offer us a clear path to follow. As we search for improved well-being, sometimes it helps to recognize that we can enact change in our lives. And as we begin to choose our own way, we learn that we can manage stressors and reduce suffering. With gentleness and compassion, we will co-construct an affirming, inclusive, and accepting therapeutic relationship. I strive to find shared lived experience to promote and sustain meaningful advances in your life.

Humans are creatures of habit & we desire comfort. However, this also means that when we feel safe, even if it defies rationality, we continue to stay stuck in patterns that can actually be damaging to our spirits and cause a great deal of pain & turmoil in our lives. Counseling can be a wonderful place for initiating change & facilitating growth. This is a place where taking risks feels not only necessary, but essential. This is a place where the status quo is no longer acceptable. Together, we can explore places of pain and help you harness your strengths and values to help you create more meaningful connections and healing.

Wow I feel refreshed", "Amazing". These are some of the comments made to me by clients. As an EMDR Therapy practitioner & Neurofeedback Technician, I love helping the "kids who grew up, survive and thrive" because they KNOW they can do, live and love more. My clients Laugh more and Live more fully, sooner and sometimes for the first time in their lives. EMDR Therapy and Neurofeedback cannot be used in conjunction with EMDR psychotherapy. However, Neurofeedback enhances brain retraining non-medically. The 45 mins of rest-time works beautifully

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
