Imagine a place where you are free to be your true self, a place where you can share your thoughts and be vulnerable without the fear of judgement. How would it feel to be seen, heard and understood?

I am a DBT - LBC Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist, and use adherent Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as well as other protocol-based interventions, to help clients manage intense emotions and change problematic behaviors. An ideal match for treatment here is someone who has already worked hard at other types of therapy and is frustrated that hard-earned insight hasn't helped them change! Knowing WHY we do things is important; still, insight doesn't always help change intense emotions, stop problem behaviors, or help us focus on life's experiences.

Trauma is a catalyst that can either bind us in grief or propel us toward greatness. By accepting what cannot be changed and learning how to properly cope with what is, we can all live a life we envision. In my experience as a therapist, I have noticed the impact grief, loss and trauma can have on an individual's psyche. With that being said, I have also noticed- and have profound appreciation for- the innate resilience evidenced in the healing process. For the past 10 years, I’ve worked tirelessly in community mental health, school based and psychiatric sites where I provided individual, family, and group therapy.

The weight of being alive, alone, hopeless, or stuck can feel unbearable or suffocating. Often we may feel that we know where we'd like to be in life, but don't know how to get there, or maybe we don't see a future at all. How does one overcome this sense of dread, or make sense from meaninglessness? It is my hope through authentic connections with others, we can discover what it means for each of us to live fully, thoroughly, and well. Conversations begin in an environment in which clients can feel safe, heard, and free to be themselves.
