On the outside you seem fine, but inside your emotions feel loud, heavy, and misunderstood. Maybe you hold back out of fear of judgment, conflict, or feeling “too much.” You deserve a space where your feelings make sense, where you can unpack without shame and learn to communicate with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Together, we’ll strengthen the relationships that matter most—especially the one you have with yourself. I draw from Gottman Method Therapy with couples and EMDR to help process trauma, deepen insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I primarily use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT) to help promote improved self-esteem, effective communication, and self-advocacy.
Life is overwhelming and challenging when we are faced with barriers that prevent us from experiencing and living as our authentic self. I believe positive, effective change can happen once we become more confident and empowered to express ourselves in all areas of life. My goal as a therapist is to empower individuals to feel confident to create effective changes within their life in order to live freely as yourself. I primarily work individuals with disrupted attachments, and sexual trauma; in addition to PTSD, depression, anxiety, and OCD (specifically Relationships, Perfectionism, Contamination).

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.
