Finding the right therapist can be challenging. My goal is to make individuals comfortable with the therapeutic process through a holistic and trauma-informed approach. Specializing in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), I help clients release beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that block growth and healing. Together, we may work on navigating life transitions, managing stress, and addressing past trauma. I support those dealing with grief and loss, chronic and terminal illness, and caregiver stress as we journey to hope and healing.

You can see your patterns clearly, but that hasn't made them easier to change. Slowing down doesn't feel safe. Hard things haven't scared you, but a relationship, a quiet moment, or a “boring” Tuesday sometimes does.
I specialize in complex trauma, identity, and nervous system-informed therapy. The people I tend to work with look fine from the outside. Better than fine, often. High-functioning, competent, holding a lot together. And completely exhausted by the distance between who they are in a room full of people and what's actually going on underneath that. Often that includes veterans, first responders, and career professionals.

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.
