I enjoy working with older adolescents and young adults (17-27) that have intense emotions, struggle with relationships, communication, and managing urges/impulsivity. I have a passion for DBT and love teaching to increase skillfulness in areas of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Building a life you like when in pain isn't easy… and you can do hard things! I want to help you build the life you want—whatever that is. "People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing". -John Porter
I specialize in Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and offer state-certified DBT IOP (intensive outpatient programing) services for young adults (17-27). I also offer general psychotherapy services and executive functioning/ADHD coaching for individuals ages 13 and older.
Socrates said that "The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." Take that first step and send me an email. I'll listen to where you are at and where you want to go and we'll take it forward from there. Staying in struggle/pain is hard, changing is hard—choose your hard.
