Do your emotions overwhelm you? Do they get away from you and lead to behaviors that affect your relationships, career and/or sense of self? Has it been more difficult than usual to manage your worry thoughts or your mood? If so, there are evidence based treatments that can help.

I have extensive training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and specialize in emotion dysregulation, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also aim to provide treatment that is culturally sensitive and considers your background, lifestyle, and values.

If this resonates with you, we can schedule a phone consultation to determine fit. You can also check out my website for further information on my background and training. At the end of the day, I hope you find a space where you can build the life you deserve. I look forward to us potentially working together!
