Meaningful change is possible, and it starts with taking the risk to do something different. That is brave work, and I am here to support people in doing it. I believe it is possible to relate to any experience in ways that help us grow. That doesn't mean it is easy. Life comes with difficulty, and it can be harder to navigate if we have not been able to address the impacts of past adversity and missing pieces. I've found self-compassion to be key in healing and growth, and it can be cultivated. My approach is collaborative, direct, and supportive. I welcome people as they are, and am open to learning from my clients.

Your family doesn't look the way it used to, and you're not sure whether to fix it or grieve it. Maybe you and your partner have had some version of the same argument for three years and you're both exhausted. Maybe you love your kids and you're still completely depleted by them. Maybe your adult child has pulled away and you don't understand why. Maybe life is fine on paper and you know it could feel better. Or maybe there's no crisis exactly, just a quiet sense that you've been taking care of everyone else for so long that you've completely lost track of yourself. Generic advice from the internet just can't bridge the gap.

The types of counseling I have special training in can be used to help in a variety of situations. Let’s get together to see what we can figure out.

My approach is grounded in DBT, CBT, and ACT.
Looking for a therapist can bring up a lot of uncertainty. You may wonder if you’ll feel understood, if therapy will be useful, or where to begin. I believe finding the right fit matters, and that a strong therapeutic relationship can support clarity, direction, and a deeper understanding of yourself. I approach my work with curiosity, a sense of humor, and a genuine interest in helping people move through areas where they feel stuck. I see therapy as a shared process.

I often focus on DBT because many patients coming into practice struggle with the ability to tolerate stress.
I work with patients that experience a broad spectrum of mental health diagnoses including Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, PTSD.

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.
