I tailor therapy to each individual's unique needs by integrating a variety of modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS-informed), somatic therapy, person-centered and psychodynamic therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices.
I work with adults (18+) navigating a wide range of challenges, including trauma, grief, ADHD, anxiety, identity exploration, and life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed and deeply compassionate, grounded in the belief that healing unfolds through connection, trust, and nervous system safety. Drawing from the principles of Polyvagal Theory, I support clients in understanding how their autonomic responses are adaptive and rooted in the body’s innate drive for protection. Together, we work to gently restore a sense of regulation, safety, and connection.

Maybe you feel stuck in your issues or feel unsure of the next steps.. My purpose as a therapist is to create space for you to heal and build the life you want and with acceptance that highlights your innate worth.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
