Are you struggling with symptoms such as depression, anxiety, anger, or low self-esteem? Do you often feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and trapped in negative thought patterns, and seek stability, a sense of control, and relief from emotional pain ? Imagine what your life would be like if you could rebuild self-worth, find peace, improve relationships, and regain hope. In making a commitment to yourself and treatment, it IS possible for you to break free from the cycle of trauma and stress, reduce emotional intensity, and develop healthier coping mechanisms to navigate life with more confidence and resilience.

Along with trauma informed care, I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) informed treatment, DBT focuses on providing practical skills for tolerating intense emotions and reducing impulsive, self-destructive behaviors while empowering individuals to navigate life's challenges, build healthy relationships and foster long-term emotional balance.
Here you will find compassionate listening balanced with encouragement to confront un-useful patterns and barriers to change. Behaviors labeled as "problems" by others are often times considered "solutions'" for the individual. Together, we can empower you to embrace your experiences, heal old wounds, and find healthier more effective solutions.
