I enjoy working with older adolescents and young adults (17-27) that have intense emotions, struggle with relationships, communication, and managing urges/impulsivity. I have a passion for DBT and love teaching to increase skillfulness in areas of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Building a life you like when in pain isn't easy… and you can do hard things! I want to help you build the life you want—whatever that is. "People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing". -John Porter

Are you in recovery or suffering from an addictive behavior? I run a DBT skills-based treatment for addiction recovery focused on emotional regulation, relapse prevention, and building a meaningful sober life. If you recognize that any of these are getting in the way of your recovery and you are medically stable, this may be the right option for you: • relapse despite motivation • emotional triggers • loneliness and isolation • self-destructive coping • impulsive behaviors • shame spirals • black-and-white thinking • difficulty tolerating distress sober • relationship chaos • “white-knuckling” recovery

If you or your child has been through something painful, it can show up in ways that are hard to explain: anxiety that feels hard to turn off, mood swings, shutting down, conflict at home, or feeling on edge even when life looks “fine.” I work with adolescents and adults who are tired of feeling stuck in survival mode. Together, we’ll build practical tools for the present while gently making sense of the experiences that may still be affecting you.

From the outside, you appear capable, accomplished, and composed. Internally, it’s a different story. Your mind rarely slows down. You replay conversations, anticipate worst-case scenarios, and avoid situations where you might feel exposed or judged. You don’t want surface-level coping strategies. You want meaningful, lasting change. I work with high-performing adults who value discretion, depth, and results. Therapy with me is not passive or open-ended. It is focused, strategic, and tailored to individuals who are ready to actively engage in the work of change.
