I specialize in treating pregnancy/postpartum mental health, anxiety and depression; however, I also have experience in helping clients with bipolar disorder and PTSD. I rely on evidence-based practices in my approach to counseling, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing

Maybe you are experiencing depression and/or anxiety and are wanting a space where you know your sexual orientation and gender identity will be affirmed for you to feel safe.

My favorite part of therapy is seeing people rediscover their joy! Do you find yourself saying about your partner that you 'love them' but don't 'enjoy them'? Have you looked at your children or teens and wondered if the 'fun part' of parenting is over? I work with couples and families on a daily basis to help them figure out how to find that connection again. I help them resolve their current struggles and empower then to create better futures.

I experience the work of therapy as a beautiful intersection of art, science, and spirituality. There’s an art to building a therapeutic relationship, connecting with others on a deeply human level and moving forward creatively even when the path isn’t clear. The science comes in through the evidence-based approaches and treatments I use, providing both a roadmap and a lens through which we can understand ourselves and foster growth. The spiritual aspect, for me, is in the sacred, intangible moments when someone opens up with bravery and vulnerability, moving toward healing not just in their mind, but in their heart and soul.

Using DBT or ACT approaches, I equip preteens through adults with the skills to lower the intensity of their emotions and then show curiosity and compassion.
Do you often find yourself reacting strongly to situations, only to later wonder why you got so upset? Do your emotions seem to escalate quickly from 0 to 10 without a clear reason? When you experience uncomfortable emotions, do you tend to distract yourself or shut down? Do you struggle with creating a support network or having boundaries with others? Are there unresolved trauma issues that you may not be acknowledging? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are one step closer because the first step toward change is awareness. Embracing this awareness can lead to positive transformations and a deeper understanding.

Wherever you are, if you have found yourself here, you have identified that you need support and I would love to meet you in that space.

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.
