I am trained in DBT, CPT, CBT, 12-step + other recovery modalities, and Mindfulness.
Similar to taking care of your body, taking care of your mind is incredibly important. Yet seeking & engaging in therapy can be a daunting hurdle to jump. Often it can feel overwhelming to even know where to start & difficult to be vulnerable with someone. Sometimes it's even hard to know how to find the words. I believe in talk therapy because it provides the space to find different & hopefully needed perspectives, understand & validate what you are going through, & figure out a way to take actionable steps towards healing. My goal as a therapist is to provide you that space, to understand you and the issues that brought you here.

I offer a mixture of DBT, CBT, and Person-Centered approaches, custom-tailored to meet the needs of each individual client.
We only get so many days. Let's use them well! I can help you regain control over your time, relationships, and emotions. You don't deserve to be always overwhelmed, always behind, and always second best. What if the reason you feel different is because you ARE different, and what if that's not a bad thing? You're NOT wrong or broken, but you may need to set some boundaries, talk through difficult events, get organized, or figure out what you want to happen next. Worried or depressed feelings don't have to keep us from having a fulfilling and productive life. You can find a way to release the art inside you. Try therapy with me.
