Welcome, I am glad you're here. Reaching out for help can be scary and I applaud you taking this first step.
My approach with therapy is to provide a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, where you can talk openly, feel heard and begin to work through what has been weighing on you. I see therapy as a collaborative effort to find what works for you to feel stronger, more balanced and ultimately, more connected to what matters most to you in a world that often seems "un-connected".

My therapeutic approach uses dialectical behavior therapy & somatic experiencing to create a blend to foster healing.
Are you feeling overwhelmed and disconnected? Do you find yourself constantly distracted from what you feel? You are not alone in feeling that! Trauma expert, Dr. Peter Levine describes trauma as "any experience that stuns us like a bolt out of blue; it overwhelms us, leaving us altered & disconnected." It can be trauma with a big "T" or with a small "t", but our bodies and brains respond similarly as it undermines our sense of safety and feeling of being in control. During our session time, we’ll focus on the power of incremental and gentle adjustments to increase your sense of safety and control within your body and environment.

Life can be unpredictable, scary, and overwhelming at times—leaving you anxious, unmotivated, or disconnected from others. Often, we struggle to communicate in times of need or feel stuck or unsure about how to express our feelings. “Communication is key” isn’t just a saying—it’s the foundation of meaningful connection and emotional well-being. Communication is a way to advocate for ourselves while connecting to others. In a fast-paced world, therapy offers a space to slow down, explore, and reconnect with yourself and those around you.

I’m passionate about helping people who are struggling with the weight of past trauma—whether from childhood or adulthood—and feel stuck in patterns they desperately want to change. Trauma shapes how we view ourselves, others, and the world, often without us realizing it. This can leave us feeling like life should be different, yet no matter what we try, things stay the same. It’s exhausting, but it doesn’t have to be this way. In a safe, compassionate space, we’ll explore how your past influences your present. Together, we’ll break free from old patterns so you can experience lasting healing and freedom.

I use an integrative approach that incorporates cognitive-behavioral therapies, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR.
I’ve found that addressing both the obvious and subtle impacts of trauma to often be the key to resolving long-standing problems with depression, anxiety, interpersonal concerns, and emotional dysregulation.

While this work can be challenging, I find it deeply rewarding to help my clients find meaningful relief from their emotional pain.

I am passionate about the power of mindfulness and have used DBT and ACT, which I have also received training in, to help clients build mindfulness practices.
Therapy is an existential process — diving into your internal world, as well as exploring the relationships that connect you to people and communities outside of yourself. It can be intimidating to seek someone you trust to safely accompany you on that expedition. My hope is to be your collaborative, calm, and cooperative travel companion. I love working with couples and families seeking someone to help them connect with one another and heal damaged bonds. In the words of Ram Dass, “We are all just walking each other home.”

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or disconnected—from yourself or in your relationships—you’re not alone. Maybe you find yourself overreacting and then regretting it, shutting down when things feel too intense, or repeating the same conflicts over and over. You might struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling like you’re “too much” or “not enough” at the same time.
For many individuals, these patterns are rooted in early relationships—especially the relationship with their mother or primary caregiver.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
