I work with adults who may find themselves repeating familiar patterns while hoping for different results. If this resonates, you’re not alone. Many are highly self critical, sensitive to criticism, carry a strong sense of responsibility, or find it hard to stay motivated with daily responsibilities. They may overwork, struggle setting boundaries, or focus on helping and holding things together while their own needs go unmet. Over time, strategies that were once helpful can begin to unravel, leaving people feeling stuck and unsure how to cope with anxiety, depression, addiction, recovery, trauma, codependency or ADHD.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, some strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Strength Based Therapy.
After 30+ years of experience, I’ve found that individuals are extremely resilient but often life can create very painful and complex problems that are difficult to navigate.

Allowing clients to recognize their own strength, uniqueness and to trust their own voice. It is an honor to bear witness to an individuals journey towards mental health wellness.

I became a DBT therapist in 2019 because I was told by a trusted colleague
to only do this work if you really love the population. Trauma work is my passion. Radical Genuineness is my approach. I still love what I do after 18 years and dig deep to help you heal. I believe in being your partner in trauma healing. I do not have an ego attached to what I do. You're in the driver seat; I'm just guiding you to healing.

My work is informed by evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, and EMDR to address both current concerns and underlying patterns.
Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck under the pressure to perform can make it hard to feel grounded even when things look fine on the outside. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, high expectations, life transitions, and relationship challenges who want more clarity, balance, and connection.

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.

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed may seem like your normal, but I assure you that you were not created to live that way. Peace and contentment is very possible given the right skills and support. Perhaps feeling stuck or trapped is where you have been lately and it is affecting other areas of your life where you are not living as your best self. Relationships can be hard especially if we have stressors weighing us down so we feel even more defeated. Feeling good about yourself and others is very possible as most people were not given the coping strategies needed and survival is where many people are at. You don't have to be.

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.
