I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, guiding individuals to regain control of their lives through evidence-based therapy in a warm and compassionate environment. My doctoral residency and fellowship at Duke University equipped me with specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), providing me with a comprehensive background in addressing complex mental health challenges.
My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailored to meet each client’s unique needs. I am passionate about providing psychoeducation, empowering clients with knowledge about their mental health to foster understanding and growth.
What sets my practice apart is the integration of empirically supported treatments, ensuring you receive the most effective care possible. By combining evidence-based interventions with a warm and compassionate approach, I help clients achieve lasting, meaningful results. The best gift I can offer you is helping you get closer to your goals.
