My approach is validating and collaborative - Warm, down-to-earth and non-intimidating, I use DBT, EMDR and DBR to best address the needs of my clients.
Life can be overwhelming. The challenges of living with social isolation, emotional pain, grief, anxiety and depression can prevent us from living the life we desire. The effects of trauma can be unbearable and intolerable and can affect both the individual and those around them. Low self esteem and destructive urges and behaviors deter from productive and satisfying lives.

My approach to therapy integrates modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples and Families, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
The people I work with seek therapy for all the emotional turmoil life throws at you: pressures to perform, anxiety, marriage and family stress, and changes in mood. Others I see come to therapy with a broader wish to understand their own nature, to see themselves and timeworn habits more clearly. In each case, my goal is not to simply fix problems in your life, but rather to help you gain control when it seems like the world around you is spinning. For clients interested in couples therapy or family therapy, my goal is to move your relationship(s) from distress to security, trust, and understanding.
