Do you often hear "You're so dramatic," "You're way too sensitive" or "Stop trying to manipulate me"? So often having big emotions means you may find yourself feeling alone, empty and blaming yourself for things that are difficult to control. You may even find yourself pushing people away and then feeling abandoned by them. Maybe you have even wanted to ask for help but felt you did not deserve any help at all? If this sounds like you, I'd like you to know that you do not have to do it alone. I am a fantastic team player and together we will explore new ways to cope, communicate and build a life with less pain and suffering.
I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and truly love it because it helps people learn to identify & express their emotions in a balanced way; improve relationships, and increase commitment to life. Learning new and more effective coping skills in a non-judgmental space are the first steps on the journey toward building a life worth living.
Are you a parent feeling lost or afraid? Not sure of how to support your teen or young adult who is struggling with suicidal ideation, rapid mood shifts, treatment refusal, risk taking behavior, self-harming or hopelessness? I am dedicated to helping you reclaim self respect, repair relationships and learn how to keep your kid safe. I can help.

I typically work with clients struggling with severe depression, suicidal ideation, and self-harming behaviors. During our initial session we will spend time getting to know each other, discussing exactly how DBT can help you alleviate your pain and creating a plan that will work. The first few sessions are an opportunity for us to make sure we are the best team to help you reach your goals.
