I enjoy working with teens and young adults 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. When you know better, you can do better—we don't know what we don't know. 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. I also offer general psychotherapy services for individuals ages 12 and older. I really enjoy working with young people, we tend to be a good fit.
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 give me a call or send an email, then we'll meet. 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 hard, changing is hard—choose your hard.
