You're in pain every day and suffer in silence. No matter how hard you try to leave trauma in the past, it still haunts your every move. You think you are unacceptable, unhealthy, unworthy and unlovable. You have trouble getting a restful night's sleep, so you feel exhausted all the time. Each day brings a roller coaster of unmanageable emotions like fear, frustration, disgust, and anxiety. Shame looms large over your thinking and decisions. Maybe you turn to food for comfort, or let the scale decide whether you are having a good day or a bad day. You want a life worth living, but you can't picture it or how to get there.
My focus has been on treating women who experience pain from their past that continues to impact their day to day lives. I have been intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I utilize this framework to establish and agree upon treatment goals that empower women to create meaningful change in their lives.
Maybe you have tried treatment before and been told you "weren't ready to change." Or maybe you've felt you had the same session over and over again with no sense of connection to your therapist, or achieving meaningful steps towards your goals. Reach out to me for a "do over." Get the support and skills you need to make peace with the past.

I work with clients who are being negatively impacted by past trauma, and struggle with behavioral issues that hold them back from being their best self. The first few sessions will focus on assessing and identifying those target behaviors and also on building a solid therapeutic relationship. I teach clients how to problem solve and use skills and apply them to create the life they want.

As an intensively trained Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) therapist, this is the foundation of how I think about and formulate ideas about treatment. DBT is also based upon Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and looking at how thoughts interact with emotions and behaviors is also an important part of how I work. I consider the larger social context that impacts client experience.
