Many clients come to therapy feeling emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or long-standing patterns that no longer serve you. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body and inner emotional world, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain insight, and begin meaningful change.

I work well with adults who know something needs to change, even if they’re not sure where to start. You may look like you’re handling life on the outside, but privately feel anxious, drained, unmotivated, avoidant, overwhelmed, resentful, or disconnected. Some clients come in tired of overthinking, shutting down, people-pleasing, or repeating the same relationship patterns. You don’t have to have everything figured out, but it helps if you’re willing to look honestly at what isn’t working. I help clients understand the patterns underneath the struggle and build realistic next steps they can use between sessions and in daily life.

Using modalities like DBT, CBT, ACT and mindfulness, we will use techniques that help you address difficult situations in the present and the future, while cultivating your personal growth and wellness.
You deserve to feel heard and understood. Life transitions, experiencing trauma, navigating eating concerns, and understanding relationship challenges can be overwhelming and make you feel alone. New phases of life, going through a really painful experience, or managing our relationship with food and our bodies brings up things that may be unexpected or distressing. You may be asking yourself: What makes me feel most like myself? What are other people thinking? It can feel impossible to determine if you're where you "should" be as you also navigate everything that comes with being a teenager, college student, or young adult.

I am trained in Brainspotting, DBT and CBT.
We are impacted by the experiences, good and bad, that we go through in life. Sometimes things totally out of our control have the biggest impact on the choices we make in life. Many times we do not realize this until our own lives seem out of control. Emotional recovery is needed to heal from the negative experiences that impacted our world view, our ability to trust others, and again the choices we make. Sometimes it is helpful to have someone walk with us on our journey of healing. That is the role of the therapist. At times, we all need a little guidance.

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.
