My clients are passionate and unique people who face challenges with emotional dysregulation, anxiety, trauma symptoms, and overall dissatisfaction with life. If you feel stuck or disconnected from yourself, your relationships, and the world around you, my intention is to create a safe and empowering space to not only decrease symptoms, but to reconnect with who you are, develop self-compassion, and create a life that you feel proud of and are excited to live. I am licensed in NY and CA. I offer in-person therapy in San Diego and virtual therapy in NY and CA. I work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan.
I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and use principles of this highly effective treatment to balance structure and flexibility with my clients. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD (ERP), and various parenting interventions.
I employ a strategic yet flexible/personalized approach to highlight your individual strengths and empower you in the therapeutic process. If you are curious about learning more, I encourage you to reach out!
