I am a certified EMDR practitioner and consultant and am either trained or informed in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), IMAGO, DBT ( Dialectical Behavior Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), EFIT, expressive therapies, and motivational interviewing.
What drew me to the counseling field was my passion to advocate for people who have experien trauma (relational, spiritual, physical, sexual, emotional, and more). I take an eclectic approach, meeting you wherever you are in the process and tailoring treatment based on my extensive training in trauma modalities. I cherish this process and helping survivors heal. As a mother of two, I have plenty of material to pull from and am equally passionate about working with parents, especially those who are facing parenting transitions and blended families. With support, validation and humor, I can help make parenting fun again.

I am a trauma specialist, trained in EMDR, CBT, and DBT .
Forget what you heard about therapy being all stiff and boring. As your therapist, I'm all about making the process fun, relatable, and real. Adulting can be stressful to say the least but with the right skills it won’t seem as ‘ghetto’. My passion lies in empowering individuals from ages 18-30 to get this adulting thing down. I specialize in working with BIPOC individuals who need help navigating life transitions such as romantic/platonic relationship drama, young women navigating motherhood, stress from college, and navigating that weird space between graduating college & and entering the adult world.

Tools from modalities like CPT, CBT, and DBT are used to create a toolkit to address these disorders and struggles.
My focus in the counseling process is to meet individuals in their current life stage and work collaboratively to address any issues. As no two people are the same, the aim of treatment is to personalize the process with treatment goals to address unique needs. One main goal is to provide everyone with the tools and support to manage struggles, feel more confident and capable, and continue to grow and explore their own lives.

Often I use EMDR or DBT treatment, education & other tools to support your goals.
Clients I work with may be trying to find their footing after overwhelming experiences, experiencing anxiety, or a big change. You have moved forward, continued building a good life, and feel like the best days are ahead. So much is different, but there are moments when it feels hard- harder than you hoped it would be by now. You’ve wondered how much those challenges have impacted who you are, how you feel, and how you connect in relationships. Even if you’ve found ways to get by- it doesn’t have to keep being this hard. I want to come alongside you on this journey and discover how much better it can become.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists

Who is DBT for?

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.
