I am trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT), and now Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
We all need someone to hear our story, to respect our tears, and to help us be courageous as we walk the path toward healing. I stay present through your pain, hurt, and discovery. Trauma, doubt, and fear can easily consume our thoughts, and provoke emotional distress and a sense of loss. Beginning the processing step can feel scary, but it certainly doesn't have to be a journey you take alone. I am here, ready to hear your story and help you navigate these feelings and reconnect you with your authentic self. Let me know how I can help.

Life can feel overwhelming, confusing, and exhausting— but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating—I keep it real, relaxed, and supportive (with a little humor, too) because sometimes you just have to laugh to get through the chaos. As a biracial counselor, I bring an outside-the-box perspective and help people uncover their strengths, even in struggle. Feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain? I’ll meet you where you are—no pressure, just real conversations to help you move forward.

Life is one stressful event or circumstance after another. You’re always getting knocked out of balance, making you anxious or depressed. You want peace and happiness in your life, but you feel more like a hamster on a wheel than someone with the agency and intentionality needed to actually make a change. Tomorrow is the day! You talk yourself into being motivated enough to start a new life. Then, tomorrow comes… and it’s the same old story. Between work, responsibilities, and distractions, you never get on course. You suspect your feelings of isolation and aimlessness have something to do with past trauma, but you’re not sure.

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.
