I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT), solution-focused, strength-based, and mindfulness-based approaches, tailoring each session to the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model.
I work with individuals of all ages, with a special passion for supporting teens and young adults as they move through life changes, anxiety, depression, anger, stress, and self-esteem concerns. This stage of life can feel especially heavy and confusing, and I don’t believe anyone should have to figure it out alone. My goal is to offer a space that feels safe, supportive, and real where clients can slow down, make sense of what they’re experiencing, and start building skills that actually help in everyday life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by past experiences, anxiety, depression, or family stress? Maybe you’re trying to break patterns from your own childhood or support a child who has experienced trauma. If so, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it on your own. My goal is to help clients better understand their experiences, build on their strengths, and develop tools that allow them and their families to heal and grow. I believe healing happens when we move beyond “black and white” thinking and explore the full complexity of your story with curiosity and compassion.

I provide trauma-informed care to women and men, and couples therapy. I want to help clarify whatever it is you want to heal. What is it that you aren't getting from your environment that leads you to overwork, over think, isolate or continue habits you already know don't serve you? To communicate better in your relationships I will use what I’ve learned to help guide you in how to disagree without hurting, highlight what is already working, and uncover the struggles you face to get to the core reasons why we get stuck. I help individuals with ADHD, OCD, and other anxiety disorders. The label doesn't matter as much as you do.

We move beyond mere symptom management toward true integration, utilizing evidence-based tools like EMDR and DBT to build lasting resilience and a reconstructed sense of self.
Stepping into therapy for the first time can feel like a lot, so I like to keep things as straightforward and relaxed as possible. My goal for our first meeting isn't to quiz you or fill out endless forms—it's just to get to know you and make sure you feel heard.

Self care is not selfish. We often believe that taking care of others before we take care of ourselves is the way it should be. But, if you are not taking care of yourself, who will? Do you have enough left to take care of your needs? Self care is more than eating, working, or bathing yourself every day. Self care is about taking care that your mental and emotional needs are being met. I want to help you to help yourself in getting your emotional and mental health needs met.

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.
