I have experience working with anxiety in its many forms—overthinking, constant worry, physical tension, and feeling on edge or overwhelmed. My approach focuses on helping you understand how anxiety functions for you, while also building practical skills to manage it in the moment. At the same time, we’ll look at the underlying patterns that keep it going, so you’re not just coping, but actually feeling more steady and in control over time.

I have experience working with personality patterns, particularly Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), including emotional intensity, fear of abandonment, and relationship instability. My approach is grounded in DBT, helping you build skills to manage emotions, reduce impulsivity, and navigate relationships more effectively, while also making sense of the deeper patterns underneath. The goal is to create more stability, self-trust, and consistency in how you experience yourself and others.

I have experience working with depression that shows up in different ways—feeling stuck, low motivation, disconnection, or being hard on yourself. My approach is both practical and deeper-focused: helping you build small, realistic ways to get unstuck while also understanding the patterns and experiences that keep the depression going. The goal isn’t just short-term relief, but creating a shift that actually feels sustainable.

I have extensive experience working with clients whose past experiences continue to affect how they feel, relate to others, and move through the world today. My approach to trauma therapy is supportive, collaborative, and paced to the individual. We work to understand the impact of past experiences while building skills that help you feel safer, more grounded, and more in control in the present.

DBT is one of my primary areas of expertise and has been a major focus of my clinical work for many years. I use DBT to help clients better understand and manage intense emotions, cope with distress, navigate relationships, and respond more effectively when emotions run high. I bring DBT into therapy in a practical, approachable way that fits each client’s life.

CBT has been a core part of my work throughout my career as a therapist. I use it to help clients recognize how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another and identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My approach is practical and collaborative, with a focus on making changes that carry over into everyday life.
