I am trained in Pragmatic/Experiential Therapy for Couples, EFT, Ketamine Assisted Therapy, Sensorimotor, Hakomi, Mindfulness, DBT & Gottman Therapy.
This strange time in our world has highlighted the importance of healthy relationships for our overall happiness and health. What it’s also highlighted is that most of us don’t have the relationships we desire—the depth and authenticity, the playfulness and sense of connection are lacking for so many. Let me support you in developing your most important internal resources & using this time to not only protect but strengthen the relationships that are most dear to you. Learn to use the heightened stress of what is NOT working to train your nervous system and strengthen your hearts capacity for greater resiliency and rewarding love

Hi there! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work.

I utilize a variety of modalities in the therapeutic work including attachment based, trauma informed practices, mindfulness, family systems, DBT, acceptance/commitment, creative art therapy, and other holistic techniques.
My goal is to empower clients to take steps towards a life they desire by building awareness and resiliency. I wish to create a supportive space to explore what is no longer working in your life. My focus is with young adult women and adolescents who might be struggling to love themselves, who want to understand how emotional wounds impact our connection with those closest to us, are seeking to heal relationships, increase trust in themselves and their own inner wisdom.

My therapeutic approach of client empowerment is facilitated by Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.
You may have something small that you want to explore, or you may have lost a sense of your identity or purpose. Our basic core needs are safety and connection, but these needs are so hard to develop when we don't have a sense of self. If you are struggling in addiction and then also grapple with depression, anxiety, spiritual exploration, sexuality, gender, or sexual orientation, these are directly informed by how you hold space for yourself as a person.

My early experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has allowed me to mold the foundations of DBT with other empirically supported treatments (MI, CBT) to fit the needs of my clients.
Change is not linear. I have come to understand the numerous challenges in life that can make you feel as if you have gone nowhere. The anxiety that sets in is alarming and the depression that may later consume you feels debilitating. However, my work has also taught my the impact we often have on our own suffering: how we often jump to "I can't" instead of "I can try." We have all found ourselves deep in self-doubt, feeling stuck in the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Are you hoping to see how change and success can become more linear overtime? My approach can help you get there.

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.
