Her approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from relational and psychodynamic practice, as well as strategies from acceptance and commitment based therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy ( DBT), and exposure and response prevention.
Often, we come to therapy searching for answers about ourselves or the people we love. Adults might ask: How can I better manage my emotions? How does the way I learn or think shape my experiences? Parents may wonder: Why do small moments trigger such big reactions in my child? How can I better understand my child’s behavior? As a therapist, my goal is to create a warm, collaborative, and safe space where we can explore these questions together. Using an integrative approach, I aim to empower clients to reflect, experiment, and try new ways of engaging—both in and beyond the therapy room.

In my early twenties I remember feeling like everyone else had it figured out while I was still trying to understand who I was and what I wanted. Those years after high school and college can feel overwhelming with no clear roadmap—just endless possibilities that are both exciting and terrifying. No semester schedule telling you what comes next. I wish someone had told me that this uncertainty isn't just normal, it's necessary for finding your authentic path through life. Those questions you're asking yourself? That discomfort you're feeling? They are actually signs you're doing the important work of growing into who you want to be.

Life transitions can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of yourself—even when they’re changes you wanted. Starting therapy is a big step, and choosing support during times of change is a powerful act of self-care.
I provide a warm, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and validated. I work with adults navigating major life transitions, including career changes, becoming a parent, juggling the demands of parenthood, marriage, divorce, breakups, and family stress.

I often use techniques like EMDR, IFS or DBT but recognize they are only tools and NOT the therapy.
I believe I was born a therapist. Caring and understanding others have always been natural parts of me. I believe each of us is born with the inner guidance to grow into the best version of ourselves. But there are many challenges along the way that interfere with that process. Childhood trauma, loss and painful circumstances, make us doubt and lose sight of our inner guidance. We begin to unconsciously work against ourselves; the result is pain in the form of emotional distress, unhealthy choices and hurtful relationships. But we have the ability and even an obligation to ourselves and family to heal and rediscover our true selves.

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.
