My therapeutic style is warm, authentic, and interactive. I create a comfortable and non-judgmental working environment for my clients, using empathy, honesty, and a sense of humor. I approach each individual treatment collaboratively - establishing treatment goals that are tailored specifically to the individual client's needs. My clients gain understanding and insight that help alleviate symptoms and create positive life changes. Because the way we think affects the way we feel, I help my clients learn how to identify and challenge negative thinking. These practical skills enable them to maintain the level of progress they make during therapy.

My speciality is providing comprehensive DBT treatment (individual therapy, DBT skills group, and phone coaching) for clients with emotion regulation difficulties. I also work with adults (18+) who feel overwhelmed by their emotions and struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or difficulties functioning at work or school.

Welcome. At various times in our lives we all end up feeling sad, angry, anxious, or lost. Sometimes we end up in unhealthy patterns: doubting our self-worth, obsessing about the past or the future, lashing out at others, or isolating ourselves. So many of our unhelpful behaviors protect us in the short-term, but leave long-term costs. I'm a clinical social worker and I provide help with these and other issues. The core of my training has been to meet you where you are--mentally and emotionally--and help you find effective techniques to overcome adversity, feel better, and move on with your life.

My ideal client is exhausted from trying everything and not getting better. You might be a new parent who’s overwhelmed by meeting the needs of a new baby. You might be a high-functioning person who’s barely holding it together. From the outside, you look fine. But inside you’re anxious and depressed. Or, you might be a trauma survivor who’s done years of talk therapy but can’t seem to get unstuck. Whatever you’re facing, you need relief—not just coping strategies, but actual healing. You need a therapist who actually understands the specific challenge you’re facing and can help you overcome that challenge.
