I approach therapy from an integrative perspective, with primary therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, interpersonal therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
I am a psychologist who is passionate about my work with eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders. I am happy to work with all eating disorder diagnoses, and I especially love to help clients who struggle with binge eating and compulsive overeating issues. I do therapy primarily on an individual basis, and work best with adolescents and adults.

I am strongly influenced by CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, developmental psychology, attachment theory, along with somatic and emotion-focused approaches.
Are you at a loss to understand yourself? Maybe you don't understand why you are depressed, anxious, prone to swings of mood, or having difficulty experiencing satisfying relationships. Do you want to suffer less? Like yourself and your life better? I listen, I care, and I help you understand how your experiences, and your thoughts related to those experiences, relate to your suffering (depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood swings, relationship difficulties, poor self-esteem, anger, shame). We collaborate to ID what you want to change in your life and how to achieve that, while accepting what can't be changed or controlled.

I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
You give everything you have to everyone and yet you can't come up with a single thing you like about yourself. You endure suffering on a daily basis, but you feel it silently. Every day is an emotional roller coaster filled with uncontrollable feelings like anxiety and rage. You feel unworthy, bad, and dirty. Without even recognizing it or understanding the reason behind it, shame casts a shadow over your decisions and way of thinking. Perhaps you eat to find comfort, or allow the number on the scale determine whether you're having a good or bad day. The walls you put up to protect you keep good people and experiences out too.

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.
