Are you looking for an experienced therapist/counselor who will give you the tools to help you manage your mental, physical, and spiritual health? I am a clinical social worker, with over 25 years of experience, who has learned to manage my own Type I Diabetes and other chronic health issues using skills learned from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), among other healing practices, such as Reiki. Please schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit. I have a masters level intern coming on board in August of 2026, who can see you for individual and group therapy integrated with yoga.
If you are unfamiliar with DBT, it is a type of therapy that helps people build four major skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation. These are skills we should have learned in our youth to help us navigate intense pain from within and outside ourselves, but often learn as adults.
Taking a holistic approach to your wellness is a key to true health. This means addressing your body, mind, spirit, and social needs as part of the work we will do together. I am always looking to help create balance where we discover imbalance. My goal is for you to thrive, not just survive, whatever challenges the universe has put in your path.

Compassionate listening is at the core of good therapy but will only get you so far. I want to give you tools and skills to use to improve, not just vent. I want you to build a life of thriving, not just surviving. We will use many modalities to help you achieve your goals. We may work together for a few months or a few years, depending on your needs and treatment goals.

I often use DBT skills in my practice and teach a weekly DBT skills group as well as a biweekly DBT graduate group for those that want to deepen their skills. After an initial free consultation and then intake, we will decide together if DBT is right for you. I also work with folks in grief processes, or transitions. Whether from death, new diagnosis, or other life changes
