Many people find their way here after noticing how the past continues to live in the present. This can show up as anxiety, depression, trauma responses, substance use, an inner critic that does not quiet, or patterns like perfectionism and emotional overwhelm.
Sometimes it follows a specific event, and other times it reflects the accumulation of lived experiences over time. There is often a growing awareness that something is repeating, along with a desire for it to shift, even if where to begin is unclear. Reaching out is often less about having answers and more about a readiness to understand, reconnect, and move differently.

I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem, using CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR to target the patterns behind your reactions.
Do you find yourself getting in your own way, even when you know what needs to change? You may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or patterns that lead to overthinking, avoidance, or pulling back just as things start to move forward. Over time, this can affect your confidence, your relationships, and how you see yourself. I work with adults who notice these patterns but haven’t been able to interrupt them. The work centers on making sense of what’s happening, so your reactions stop feeling automatic and start making more sense.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand who you are and the story you want to tell. Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. My desire is that no one will ever feel that way in any session. We’ll have a collaborative experience where I get to help you achieve your goals, provide another perspective and set a vision for the life you want now and for the future. Calling a therapist can be intimidating. I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

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.
