My holistic approach draws from several perspectives, including Somatic, Mindfulness-based, IFS (parts work), DBT, and CBT and Narrative.
I am passionate about helping people—and their loved ones—reconnect with themselves, both emotionally and physically, so they can begin to heal from trauma, stress, overwhelm, depression, and burnout. I believe that every person carries innate wisdom that guides meaningful healing and lasting change.
My approach supports individuals, couples, and families who feel disconnected from themselves or one another due to life’s demands, transitions, or challenges that may not yet be fully understood. As clients rediscover their natural rhythm they open themselves to greater ease, clearing the way for desired change.

I offer individual, group, and family therapy using evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, and Strength-Based Therapy.
My ideal client feels stuck in patterns that no longer serve them and is open—however cautiously—to change. They may face substance use, anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, or relationship issues, often in combination. They seek clarity, self-understanding, and healthier ways to cope and grow. They want freedom from shame, self-doubt, and emotional pain, and hope to build a more intentional, connected life. They need both practical tools and a safe, compassionate space. They’re ready to do the work—with honesty, effort, and the right support.

Do you find yourself stuck in anxious thought spirals or painful relationship patterns? Maybe you feel out of control in your relationship with yourself or others—caught in cycles of people-pleasing, codependency, or self-doubt. Often these patterns are rooted in trauma or complicated childhood experiences. You may be trying to make sense of the past while wondering who you are outside of the patterns they’ve shaped. Together, we can slow things down, untangle these patterns, and help you reconnect with a clearer sense of who you are.

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.
