I provide evidence-based, effective, and collaborative psychotherapy to children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and incorporate aspects of other behavioral therapies into my practice as appropriate. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and offer DBT-informed treatment. I have a particular interest in working with adolescents and young adults struggling with emotional and behavioral dysregulation, trauma, depression, suicidal ideation, non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors, and anxiety.
My therapeutic style focuses on 1) exploration and understanding of your values, goals, priorities, and identity 2) elucidating adaptive and maladaptive patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and 3) helping you make behavioral changes to build a life worth living, according to you.
Therapy can be hard, and lasting change takes time. Give yourself some credit for seeking out services.
