I am a Level 3 Radically Open DBT therapist. RO-DBT is built for overcontrolled adults: perfectionism, emotional inhibition, and social disconnection. I also use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for clients who feel "stuck" on past experiences, and I work with individuals, couples and families to rebuild closeness and and reduce conflict.
If you've spent years being the capable one, the person who manages, who handles it, who doesn't ask for much, therapy can feel like one more thing to perform. It doesn't have to. The work I do is warm, structured, and direct, with room for humor and honesty. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.

Many of my clients identify with the challenges of being "overcontrolled". I use Radically Open DBT, a structured therapy, that is engaging & liberating for those who struggle with forming/maintaining healthy relationships & feel "mystified" with how to change that. I work with families, to increase family engagement & harmony. I also do Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for "being stuck".
