You’re as reliable as they come; working full-time during the week, balancing the household, taking care of pets, plants, or aging parents, and on top of that, you’re also HOA president or leader of your staff appreciation team. This balancing act feels like you’re juggling a bunch of glass bottles. If you slow down, one might fall to the ground and shatter. You’d like to take a break, but it feels overwhelming to plan, so when you do get the opportunity to slow down, it feels like you're only option to spend time on the couch or in bed in front of a screen, leaving you feeling depleted, distracted and disconnected. You feel stuck

I use an integrated approach so it is tailored to you, I lean on ACT, DBT, and Compassion Focused often.
Life is full of emotions, sometimes its joy but sometimes its a sense of struggling and pain. Anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship/marital problems can all add to this sense of struggling. Especially, when we aren't well equipped to withstand it. Sometimes that struggle feels like this heavy cloud or mask we walk around with. Sometimes that struggle isolates us and causes us to become disconnected from ourselves or our loved ones. Playing tug of war with that struggle only makes it more draining. Let's figure out a way to make that struggle less intense together.

I have experience with IFS and DBT.
I understand therapy as an act of self-care: a means of attenuating to, understanding, and caring for ourselves. I do not seek to cure you but only to help you become more effective at caring for yourself. Diagnoses are used only to help you develop more effective self-care. I aim for a compassion and awareness focused, rather than a diagnosis and prognosis, based approach. Our goal is to help you achieve whatever you value as consistently, accessibly, and meaningfully as we can. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples. I have expertise in suicidality, trauma-informed care, neurodiversity, anxiety, and personality struggle.

No two people bring the same story to therapy. All individuals have unique needs and the outcome each person desires varies. There are some commonalities though - people seek support to reduce suffering and to find meaning and purpose in life. In a safe space we embark together to discover what this means for you, with tools and techniques needed to reduce symptoms and perhaps adjust behaviors, expectations, and boundaries. With empathy and acceptance, I will do my part to establish a rapport with you that allows us to explore your needs, the meaning behind your feelings and behaviors, and the complexities of life together.

Life can be painful. Trauma, loss, addiction, anxiety, depression and other stressors can sometimes make us feel like there is no point to going on. Even when you are doing your best, you may feel lost.

If you feel trapped in the relentless cycles of OCD, profound anxiety, or trauma, I help you understand these patterns with compassion and curiosity rather than shame. My work is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), which views the human personality as a dynamic system of parts shaped by both life experience and natural temperament. From this perspective, anxiety, OCD, and other problematic emotions and behaviors are often seen as protective mechanisms working diligently to keep you safe from perceived danger and harm. Obsessions, compulsions, and hypervigilance are attempts to create certainty in an uncertain world.

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.
