I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and utilized this in an adolescent treatment center specializing in DBT. I can provide skills training (Core Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance) to adolescents and adults. I have experience treating individuals with varying issues. I believe in combining therapeutic modalities to provide a strength and solution-focused treatment approach.
