My first priority as a therapist is to restore hope: Hope for positive change, for relief from emotional suffering, for new possibilities and new abilities. I believe in each person's capacity for growth and I know that we can all benefit from a fresh perspective at times. If your symptoms or problems have started to overwhelm you, if you are reeling from a past or present trauma, or if you feel worried and in doubt about what to do next - I would like to help you regain balance and keep moving forward.
The process starts with helping you find your strengths and determining your goals for therapy. From there, we add new skills, new ways of thinking, and new behavior patterns that can quickly produce the kinds of positive change you are seeking.
I specialize in using DBT - its focus is on learning how to live in the present moment, balance your mood, tolerate painful events with less suffering, reduce judgmental thoughts, and assert your needs to others while keeping your relationships intact. For the quickest response, please email me any questions or requests, thank you!
