You've hit the wall. Again. Overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts that you can't seem to break, you just can't keep pretending that everything is fine anymore. No matter how hard you try to push it away or block it out, you just can't seem to shake the pain of your past, and it affects everything that's important to you. Your confidence, your relationships, and especially how you feel about yourself all seem like they are on shaky ground. Putting what you want and what you need last has once again caught up with you. You've thought about reaching out for help but don't know where to start or who to trust.
I help professional women heal from complex trauma, negative thought patterns, and emotional overwhelm. Using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and somatic techniques, I provide a safe space to help you cope with intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and improve your self-worth. Together, we’ll create a path toward lasting peace and healing.
Don't wait until someday to start living the life you want. Quiet that inner critic that tells you that you can't do it, you aren't worth it, and you can never change. Let's work together to heal the emotional wounds that hold you back and build a new, empowered future. Call today to find a time to meet and begin the journey to healing your body and mind.

I work with people who may be struggling with depression, anxiety or eating disorders stemming from long-term childhood abuse or neglect. The first few sessions are typically spent gathering history and background information, identifying problematic areas of concern, and building a solid, trusting therapeutic relationship. Together we will create a road map to meet your targeted treatment goals.

As a DBT therapist, this approach to treatment is the foundation of how I think about and formulate ideas about the therapy process. DBT is also based upon Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), so I often focus on how thoughts interact with emotions and behaviors as well as teaching clients more effective skills. The larger social context that impacts client experience is also important to consider.
