Life can feel overwhelming when emotions take over. Maybe your teen or young adult rides constant ups and downs—calm one moment, then suddenly angry, withdrawn, or in tears. Maybe they’re struggling with thoughts of suicide or hurting themselves just to cope. You might notice relationships that swing between closeness and conflict, leaving everyone exhausted and unsure what to do next. These struggles can feel scary and isolating, but you don’t have to face them alone.
I specialize in helping teens, young adults, and families who are dealing with intense emotions, depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, trauma, and relationship difficulties. In therapy, we work together to build practical tools for managing emotions, reducing harmful behaviors, and strengthening communication and connections at home.
I’m a psychologist and Linehan Certified DBT Therapist. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client. I provide individual therapy, DBT skills groups, and phone coaching for support outside of sessions. I draw from evidence-based approaches and empower you to make real changes.

Groups
DBT multi-family skills group
The group teaches teens and their parent(s) the following DBT skill modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and walking the middle path. It has a class-like format with handouts, take-home exercises, and experiential activities, but there is no expectation that group members share information that is uncomfortable. Research has shown that caregivers' involvement makes treatment more effective because caregivers learn to serve as coaches for their children and benefit from learning the skills themselves. Teens must have an individual DBT therapist at the Center for CBT or be a program-approved outside DBT provider.
