Current openings.
My ideal client is someone ready for change but currently struggles with intense self-criticism and emotional chaos. They are stuck or overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or emotion dysregulation, including related issues like trauma/PTSD, ADHD, bipolar, substance use, or relationship issues.
They want relief and effective skills to navigate life. Their core need is to learn radical self-acceptance—making space for uncomfortable thoughts and feelings—while simultaneously developing the skills to wisely regulate or change problematic behaviors. My goal is to help them build a life they genuinely value.
I utilize DBT and skills to address a range of issues, helping clients build resilience, regulate emotions, and improve relationships. For specific diagnoses, I offer targeted, evidence-based treatments: Prolonged Exposure (PE) for trauma/PTSD and manualized CBT for ADHD. I integrate the cultivation of mindfulness, a tool complimentary to all my approaches.
Starting therapy is a significant decision. Finding a good fit is essential to your success, and I deeply respect that. I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation with me. This low-pressure talk is a great chance to see if my approach aligns with your needs. Appointments - Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
