DBT is an evidence-based therapy that balances acceptance and change to help individuals manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Anxiety is far more than just worrying too much; it is a constant, exhausting internal alarm system that refuses to shut down. It looks like replaying conversations, overthinking every decision, and living with that everything will go wrong. Physically, it takes a heavy toll on your body. In our sessions, you will find a safe space to slow down. Together, we will regulate your your nervous system and help you develop emotional clarity and confidence.

Depression rarely looks like just sitting in a dark room; more often, it feels like a heavy, invisible weight that drains the color out of your daily life. It turns simple daily tasks into monumental hurdles, leaves you stuck in cycles of harsh self-criticism, and convinces you that things will never change. In our sessions, we will create a supportive space to gently unpack the root causes of sadness, disrupt the negative thought loops holding you back, and rebuild your connection to your joy.

Between the group chats that never go silent, the high school social hierarchies, the TikTok comparisons, and the pressure to perform on every front, your teen is carrying more than most people around them realize. They might tell you they’re fine. They might even believe it. I specialize in teen therapy because I understand that adolescents today face an unprecedented mental health landscape. In my practice, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where teenagers can unpack their feelings.
