Accepting New Clients! Overwhelmed by intense emotions, impulsive urges, or self-harm? Are you a parent worried about a teen who feels stuck in depression, anxiety, or destructive behaviors? If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place! I specialize in full-model Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a proven approach for borderline personality disorder, self-harm, suicidality, depression, eating disorders, and anxiety. Comprehensive DBT includes individual therapy, DBT skills training group, and 24/7 phone coaching (to implement DBT skills in your real life)! This treatment brightens and saves lives.

Often, my clients have been told by others that they’re “too much” or that their emotions are a "problem". I don’t see it that way. I'll teach you strategies to work with your emotions and improve relationships. My approach is active, supportive, and focused on helping you take small, meaningful steps towards a life that feels more satisfying.

I’ll bring the DBT expertise and skills package to help you influence intense emotions and move toward a values aligned life (we will explore your values together!). You’ll bring your lived experience and motivation, and together we’ll shape a life you feel ready (and ideally excited) to live. Reaching out is a brave first step and I hope you do today!
