Durham, NC 27701
I am deeply committed to supporting young girls/boys in the late teens and women/men in early adulthood to adulthood who are experiencing intense emotions, depression, low self-worth, anxiety, body image issues, and have a desire for more peace and wellness in their lives. I am passionate about working with clients facing overwhelming life situations and traumatic pasts including domestic violence, childhood physical/emotional abuse and sexual abuse/assault.
I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Prolonged Exposure, and Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques.
I believe all people are doing the best they can and want to change. Although difficult, all people can learn to understand and regulate emotions and behaviors. I will seek to understand your individual experience and work with you, at your pace, to work to achieve the goals you set for yourself.

I primarily use DBT (this includes text coaching between sessions, skills training: both group and independent study). In your first session, the primary focus is to build hope in building an effective treatment plan to help you meet the goals you want to work on. With DBT you will learn new effective coping skills to help you tolerate distress, regulate emotions and communicate more effectively.
