I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Doctor of Social Work.I am a certified DBT Therapist from The Linehan Board of Certification and a Beck Institute Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Certified Clinician who works specifically with adolescents and their families. I work with adolescents who have graduated from RTC/PHP/IOP. I am the creature and developer of Family Systems Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
My aim is to work closely with adolescents and families to address the problems they face.My focus is to help my clients develop and implement, practical and applicable skills that allow them to transition from a destructive life into one that is inline with their personal goals and values.
I offer individual psychotherapy and phone coaching. I believe in beginning with the end in mind so shortly after our first meeting we will begin to develop a practical comprehensive plan that will point you in a direction towards meeting your goals.
