Tapping into DBT skills to strengthen
Mindfulness
, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance as well as Interpersonal Communication is powerful and effective.
John Lennon nailed it: "Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans." Without warning we my find ourselves dealing with the loss of a relationship, a job, or a difficult diagnosis. Perhaps parenting, which used to be so easy, does not seem to be working. For others, years of carrying so much anxiety and stress has now become too heavy and is getting in the way. Possibly life itself has turned upside down, magnifying everything else to the point that it is just overwhelming. I get it and can offer support, skills and a path towards reclaiming your well-being and a life worth living.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

I believe therapy should be a collaborative process from which clients feel more empowered to be who they are wanting to be. My professional experience working with marginalized populations and trauma has led me to value being trauma-informed, holding an intersectional perspective, & creating an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance and safety. Therapy should be tailored to a client's goals, world view, and personality, so I use a fluid mix of
mindfulness
, art, EMDR, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and existential therapy.
