I brings steadiness, depth, and compassion to my clinical work. I've worked with adolescents and adults across a range of settings, including group homes, school-based services, day treatment, crisis intervention, and inpatient care. Most recently, I provided DBT-based therapeutic services to adolescents and families on the Adolescent Inpatient Unit at Providence. I worked closely with teens experiencing significant mental health struggles to promote stabilization and skill development.
I'm now offering outpatient therapy using the modality of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). DBT is a first-line intervention for individuals struggling with significant emotion and behavior instability. It's an evidence-based treatment designed to help reduce ineffective behavior patterns and help individuals to build a meaningful life.
My wide range of clinical experience has strengthened my ability to provide grounded, thoughtful support during times of acute stress and emotional intensity. I understand that your life is painful as it's currently being lived and I believe you can find peace and freedom from being ruled by your emotions.
