Utilizing techniques from DBT, CBT, and mindfulness, I strive to help you process emotions and develop coping skills for when you feel overwhelmed or experience sensory overload.
Do you ever feel misunderstood or like you don’t fit in? Is this causing you to feel anxious or disconnected from life? As a queer mental health professional, I have experience working with autistic adults, ADHD, trauma, depression and anxiety.

I am SO committed to nourishing warm, grounding connections with my clients while also offering an ever-expanding toolkit of modalities such as EMDR, ACT, DBT and Somatic practices.
You just walked out of another Doctor’s appointment feeling completely overwhelmed. Your PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is raging and while your Care Team had a ton to say about your symptoms, it was crickets when you asked about the depression, anxiety and mood changes you’re dealing with, too. Your head is immediately drowning in next steps and you know the next time you open Instagram you'll be bombarded with expensive "solutions" to your problem. By the time you go to bed, you’re so tired and so wired that you stay up most of the night feeling lost and scared.

I practice neurodivergent-affirming DBT.
When you’re neurodivergent, queer, or disabled, it can feel like you’re constantly trying to meet unreachable standards. Shame, doubt, and overwhelm can make you feel like you’re falling short no matter how hard you try. You’re not failing, though. The problem is the world’s one-size-fits-none expectations, (plus the fact that our country is currently a dumpsterfire). But together we can create new expectations and redefine what success means for you. We’ll embrace every part of you, especially the parts you’ve been told don’t belong.

I utilize several different modalities in my counseling approach, including person centered, DBT, CBT, EMDR, relapse prevention, & motivational interviewing.
I typically work with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, codependency, self-esteem, borderline personality disorder. I am very relaxed and match my tone to my client. With those who are more outgoing I will be more upbeat, whereas if someone is more serious or introverted, I will tone it down and be calmer.

My training also consist of CBT and DBT.
During the human experience, we will have struggles along the way. There are times we don't understand our own actions. We decide to take one approach to solve our problems and find ourselves doing something opposite of what we intended on doing. It is in those moments that we ask ourselves "How did I get here?" As a counselor for over 16 years, I partner with people to find their answers and to unlock their solutions. I have a solution-focused approach that assists clients in reestablishing balance, developing coping skills, and educating them on techniques and strategies to improve their capabilities.

I typically work with individuals ages 17 to 99 to encourage and support their mood disorders, recovery from trauma and substance use to become aware of the mind, body, and spirit connection and how the body reacts to thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, dampening the spirit and impacts overall health.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
