Change can at times seem impossible, but it doesn't have to be. Once you better understand yourself and have a plan to move forward, the path toward a meaningful life becomes much more clearly lit. I'd like to help you find your way by creating coping strategies together to experience relief right away, and then to dive deeper into the particular issues that may be keeping you stuck.
I have over 15 years of experience specializing in the treatment of trauma, substance abuse, eating disorders, anxiety and depression. I primarily utilize DBT and ACT, and am EMDR and IFS trained and versed in somatic therapies, including yoga for trauma and 12-step recovery. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples and families.
My therapy style is direct, holistic and empathetic. Building a supportive therapeutic relationship with you is my top priority so that we can make the most of our sessions from the start. I view this relationship as a collaboration in finding your authentic self together. Let's get going!

I frequently use skills-based approaches such as DBT and ACT in my practice. Once we establish the best foundational support, I will incorporate EMDR to further assist in symptom relief so we can explore issues of attachment and your unique history to help better your self awareness and acceptance.
