Waitlist for new clients
I utilize a tailored approach to individual needs and lean heavily on DBT and CBT skills, work around values and core self, and the influence of client environments.
Prior to private practice, I worked in a variety of community-based jobs including in-home family therapy, crisis response, domestic violence, and adolescents interfacing with the criminal justice system. Now I enjoy working mainly with young adults and adolescents, affirming their life experience and re-imagining what a full life looks like. I'm here for the clients who find themselves operating outside of societal norms and learning how to build their own path. My clinical lens is rooted in harm-reduction, person-in-environment and trauma-informed approaches.

My approach is direct and human; combining DBT skills, EMDR, person-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing to help you move from survival mode to something more sustainable.
You’re the person people turn to. The one who holds space, carries the hard stories, and shows up even when you’re overwhelmed. You’re good at it (exceptional, actually); but lately it’s costing you. The emotional exhaustion, compassion fatigue, burnout, and trauma are no longer quiet. They’re affecting your relationships, your body, your mood, and the way you experience yourself.
You don’t need to be told to “try self-care” or “set boundaries.” You’ve done that. You know the language. What you need is a space to actually feel what your nervous system has been holding, process, and come back to yourself without guilt.

Are you feeling like you are always trying to fit into someone's else box, the version of your life that others have for you, hoping that by doing so you will finally gain acceptance and validation? You have recognized that this is a no-win situation which only produces vacillating feelings of anxiety and depression which rob you of the life you know could be yours. You are ready for change but don't know where to start. Your biggest fear that that this would be another in a series of "starts". However, your desire to live your best life is pushing you to take a chance on change, but who will walk with you?

Things haven't felt safe for a while. Life feels out of control, and you're clinging to the things that bring even a moment of relief. But the relief is fleeting, and the all-too-familiar cycles of avoidance, worry, or self-criticism inevitably return. It feels like life is one big mantra: push it down, get through, and wait for the next stressor to hit. You struggle to remember a time when living didn't feel so...stuck.

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.
