I love working with teens, college students, young adults, adults, couples, and parents.
I'm trained in structural/strategic family therapy, Internal Family Systems, DBT, and use the mix of skills/strategies that work best for you. I use Emotion Focused Therapy and Gottman with couples. Coming up later in 2024, I'm training in EMDR!

Other Issues
I have been trained and practicing DBT for 20+ years- recently worked on making it official with my certification!
My training is in family systems theory, so I come from a perspective of us all functioning with many systems, our family of origin/people with whom we grew up, school, work, community, etc. I approach relationships with a blend of IFS/DBT/EFT/Gottman- whether you're coming to therapy as an individual or couple, I can support you!
Level 1 training + 20 years of practice
I have worked with. many clients, of all ages, with chronic and acute, passive and active, suicidal thoughts. I am comfortable with doing risk assessments, safety plans, and am not a therapist who jumps to sending clients to the hospital unless absolutely necessary for safety.
History of abuse, childhood trauma, C-PTSD, etc. I use a combination of approaches, including DBT, IFS, and EMDR, depending on your needs and preferences.
I have received basic training in EMDR and am working toward certification. I find it fits so well with my approach and other modalities I use. EMDR can be for healing of all kinds - stress, perfectionism, trauma, childhood trauma, and more!
