Some tools I use in therapy include Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT),
DBT
, Parent Management Training, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
I have spent my career working with at-risk children and adolescents in many different settings. Throughout that time, I developed my passion for working with adolescents that feel like they have been given up on and have no one on their side. I strive to assist clients in coping with the stressors of school, work, family, and life in general. I take a systemic approach with families that want help understanding and decreasing issues around their youth engaging in physical/verbal aggression, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and school disruption. I utilize different interventions to assist families in reaching their goals!

Early on, I realized the importance of acceptance in the therapeutic relationship, and I now practice cognitive-behavioral and
dialectical
-behavioral therapy to help my clients break through their negative thoughts and flip the script on their unwanted habits.
Especially in difficult times, it can be hard to find sources of acceptance, affirmation, and healing. Often the people closest to us - family, classmates, and co-workers, don't accept us for who we are. Perhaps we are gifted and see the world differently, in a new relationship and scared of old mistakes, are living an alternative lifestyle, or are trying to better understand ourselves and our past. Whatever the reason, we also desire to be happy, whole, and loved - and especially to become something more than what we are. Trauma can hold us back - creating negative habits and barriers to our success.

While I focus on what each individual client needs, I often use EMDR, systemic and mindfulness-based approaches, and
Dialectical
Behavioral Therapy (
DBT
) to support growth and meaningful change for my clients no matter where they are in their stage of healing.
The ache and overwhelm of unresolved attachment trauma is not something anyone is meant to move through alone. If you're struggling to make sense of a partner's infidelity, the loss of a loved one through death or separation, or how you and your partner ended up not only turning away from each other but turning against each other, know you can not only survive this season, but find purpose, healing, and peace again. My training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, EMDR, and
DBT
allows me to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to those looking to stop merely coping and start truly living.

I use a variety of clinical interventions including
DBT
, EMDR, and inner child treatment techniques.
My passion for helping others began from understanding the unique perspective that children have in the family system and how they are affected by issues within the family unit. I hold this idea when working with adults on family and individual issues. It is my belief that our childhood experiences write on the slate of who we are and can continue to impact functioning into adulthood. I take a family systems perspective when working with families and individuals to explore past pain, harness strengths that have been developed, and discover how our life story develops a sense of identity.

I am a level II trained EMDR clinician as well as a cognitive behavioral/
DBT
psychotherapist including solution focused therapies.
I am sorry but at this time I am not seeing new clients. Please check back in August. I do offer telehealth and am glad you are here looking for a counselor, especially when you are probably not on top of your game. I know that when you first call you will have questions and that our first meeting needs to reassure you that you made a good choice in starting this journey. A plan can be developed, you will leave the session knowing someone understood what you were saying, and that there are solutions to your problems. You came to this site for a reason, so give me a call or email, don't put off what could be a very good step.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
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.
