About My Clients
I specialize in treating individuals experiencing intense emotions, impulsivity, and interpersonal stress. I work with individuals diagnosed with anxiety, depression, mood, and personality disorders. I’m clinically trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and enjoy working with you on identifying ineffective thoughts and behaviors, and finding more effective ways to cope and navigate life. I’m also trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy- Level I.
My Background and Approach
I have extensive experience practicing at an intensive outpatient level of care (IOP), and enjoy facilitating both individual and group therapy. I have a special interest in working with college students on coping with the transition and changes that come along with being a student and increasing our independence, and previously facilitated group therapy with college students at UT Austin experiencing interpersonal stress and difficulty with emotion regulation and tolerating distress. I enjoy using humor and bringing my authentic self to our sessions together. I love getting to know people and their history, and tend to pull from past experiences to help make sense of our current thoughts and behaviors. Due to my clinical training and background, I also incorporate the education and implementation of new, tangible skills in my practice when what we’ve been doing isn’t working so that we can increase effectiveness and respond mindfully in life.
