Whether it's managing a short-term challenge or dealing with a chronic struggle, fear, worry, and feelings of shame can hold an outsized presence in our lives. I work with clients who experience overwhelming anxiety, anger, and depression to build more resilient, rewarding, and value-driven lives. My areas of practice include preteens and high school students, individuals with Borderline Personality and Bipolar Disorder, people on the autism spectrum, and mood disorders that impact anxiety, depression, and sleep.
I have extensive training and experience in DBT, ACT, and other mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches. I believe therapy needs to provide real benefits in the lives of clients, and I approach this work with compassion, creativity, acceptance, and humor.
Please feel free to reach out to me for a free 30 minute consultation. Let's explore how the tools of therapy can support freedom from distress and growth toward a life worth living. I'm happy to answer any questions. I want this support to work for you.
