Whether the change you seek is to improve your ability to cope with a difficult situation from your past or to learn new ways to manage current challenges in your daily life, we can find a way together to accomplish these goals. My role as your therapist will be to offer support as you discover your own path toward healing and fulfillment. I'll offer an insight-driven, solutions-focused, and skills-based supportive approach to help you successfully make the changes you desire in your life.
With over 20 years of experience using various proven techniques from DBT to EMDR, I can help you put difficult aspects of your life (childhood abuse, anxiety, depression, family or relationship stress...) behind you so you can begin to experience your life in new, more effective and fulfilling ways!
I provide free initial face-to-face consultations for a chance to see if we might be a good fit before you invest or commit. I offer daytime and evening appointments for your convenience. So, there's no need to wait; let's get started!

Groups
Adult DBT Aftercare Process Group
This group is perfect for individuals who have completed a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program and want continued reinforcement of skills and support. This process group helps members to individualize interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation and coping skills learned in previous skills groups and provides an opportunity for further processing of issues outside of individual sessions. This group offers a safe environment for open discussion of any or all topics or issues in an empathic and nonjudgmental atmosphere. All group members are expected to be working with an individual therapist and therapist referral is preferred.
