If you’re feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions, stuck in obsessive thoughts, caught in relationship conflict, or exhausted from trying to “hold it all together,” you’re not alone. Therapy with me is active, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based approaches that create real, lasting change.
I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for individuals who struggle with emotion dysregulation, impulsivity, relationship instability, and traits of borderline personality disorder. I also specialize in Evidence Based Treatments for PTSD, OCD, GAD, depressive disorders and marital conflict.
Many clients seek DBT, in particular, after trying therapy before and feeling it wasn’t structured or effective enough. Reaching out for help, regardless of what you are struggling with, is courageous. I am here to help you move towards a life that is in line with your values and goals.
