I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, person-centered, solution-focused, and trauma-informed approaches.
I believe therapy is about more than managing symptoms, it’s about understanding yourself, making sense of where you’ve been, and figuring out where you want to go. Life can leave us stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next, but those seasons can create space for growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and identity. Whether you’re healing from the past, adjusting to a new chapter, or feeling stuck, therapy can offer a safe place to reconnect with yourself, and move forward. You don’t have to have it figured out to begin.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in familiar patterns—knowing something isn’t working, but not quite sure how to change it?
Much of my work is about helping individuals slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and reconnect with themselves. My goal is to help you understand yourself on a deeper level—not just manage symptoms, but explore why certain patterns exist and how past experiences continue to shape the present.

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.
