If you’ve ever felt like the world is asking you to shrink, numb out, or blame yourself for being in pain, therapy can be an act of rebellion. I offer individual psychotherapy and DBT skills training groups as a way to push back against the forces of greed, hatred, delusion—and the harmful belief that you are broken. Together, we’ll build skills for emotional clarity, self-respect, and connection—practices that reconnect you with your power and your humanity. You don’t need to be fixed. You need space to heal and grow.
I help people build a life worth living through individual therapy and DBT skills training. Whether you're navigating big emotions, relationship struggles, or feeling stuck, I offer practical tools, insight, and support to help you grow with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
Life can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you're struggling to cope or simply ready for change, I offer a supportive space to explore, heal, and grow. If you’re curious about how therapy could help, I invite you to reach out.

As a therapist, I approach diagnosis with caution. It can inadvertently reinforce the notion that the challenges faced by individuals are solely due to internal factors, ignoring the substantial impact of destructive and inequitable societal forces.

As a DBT therapist, I believe that the most important thing a therapist can do is to help a patient change in ways that lead them further towards their ultimate goals. At Green Mountain DBT the relationship between therapist and patient is a relationship of equals. My job at Green Mountain DBT is to fight for hope, and to be on the side of hope, even when all seems hopeless.
