"Something's gotta change!" If you are reading this, you have already come to this conclusion. I understand that life situations and experiences can be very challenging, stressful, and painful.

I specialize in working with clients who have trouble managing and controlling their emotions which at times can lead to self destructive and maladaptive behaviors. I was intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy at The Bridge Training Institute in Massachusetts. I currently use DBT and CBT in my practice with adolescents and adults.

Carl Rogers once said, "When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me." We all experience times in our lives where we just need to be heard, to be validated, to find some direction. It is my belief that a therapeutic relationship with a genuine therapist who provides an authentic, nonjudgmental, safe environment is the most important factor for growth and positive outcomes.

Life is stressful. Sometimes we just need to talk with someone who understands our fears and anxieties and who can give us another perspective.

One of the most important aspects in therapy is the ability for the therapist and client connect and be able to communicate about the issues that bring the client into therapy. I'm very good at making healthy connections with new clients and know that the relationship proves to be the most important aspect of good treatment outcomes. Part of what makes it easy for me to connect is that I've had a diverse range of life experiences which makes it easy for me to relate to many different individuals and situations.

My style of therapy encompasses the idea of motivating through speaking your truth. I reach people with my honest, genuine, and real sense of intuition about challenges they face. My goal for clients is to increase personal awareness of problematic behaviors they want to change and then engage in finding new ways to incorporate change in their lives with struggling with power, control, depression, trauma, relationship problems, loss of identity, stillbirth, grief, and divorce. Currently I am working on my dissertation addressing trauma and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures in conjunction with treating emotion avoidance strategies with this select population.
