I utilize CBT, DBT, person-centered, and strengths based approaches.
Many of us go through periods in life where things feel heavy and seem uncertain. We are capable of much more than we believe especially when we feel off. Mental health symptoms can alter our perception and understanding of ourselves, others, and the world. I understand that meeting with a stranger to talk about life can feel uncomfortable. I strive to build a welcoming therapeutic space for clients of all ages.

I also add concrete skill-building into my sessions through ACT, DBT, and mindfulness practices.
Every stage of life comes with greeting and farewell. There is grief in new beginnings and there is hope in dark moments. Growing a family includes mixtures of hope, sorrow, joy, and longing. For me, perinatal mental health encompasses (in)fertility struggles, miscarriage & pregnancy loss, abortion or TFMR, NICU experiences, infant loss, perinatal depression, anxiety, & OCD, birth trauma, postpartum transition, and early parenthood. At every stage, there is often a complicated jumble of joy, sorrow, hope, and change. I am here to help you engage these contradictions and process the intensity of your particular perinatal story.

Motivation is a struggle, let alone surviving day to day life. Maybe you have experienced several small traumatic events, life altering traumas, or you just feel like your entire life has been one big traumatic train wreck. You are on an emotional roller coaster. Everyone and everything around you come before your own needs.

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.
