About My Clients

I work with each client to build a strong alliance that helps to foster change. I help clients to shift focus from what isn't working to finding what does work by identifying and prioritizing their specific goals. I emphasize skill building to help clients learn new ways to manage the emotional and physical challenges they have encountered that have been barriers to achieving their goals before. Together we create a plan to build a life worth living now and going forward.

My Background and Approach

I understand that commitment to therapy is no small task! I am compassionate to this journey and believe in working with clients holistically from a mind-body perspective rather than to only focus on a symptom or a diagnosis. That being said, I think it is also important to know about your therapist 's experience and how we are trained. I am an intensively trained DBT therapist who specializes in the area of anxiety, depression, mood lability, codependency, addiction/recovery and trauma. I utilize Dr. Marsha Linehan's model of DBT as a foundational tool for helping clients in building their life worth living. I am trained and specialize in ERP for anxiety and EMDR and Hypnotherapy for trauma. I utilized a collaborative approach to therapy as I believe you are the expert on YOU but sometimes we feel stuck and seek help from others.
