About My Clients
I enjoy working together with clients struggling with mood disorders, such as bipolar disorders and depression, as well as the symptoms of anxiety disorders, including panic disorder. I also have experience working with borderline personality disorder, using DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) skills too increase emotional regulation and decrease suffering.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in treating mood disorders, emotion regulation and interpersonal issues, with a particular focus on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) informed skills and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I enjoy incorporating mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques in the therapy session. It is my firm belief, however, that therapy is to be tailored to each individual's unique needs. Therefore, I strive to be as collaborative as possible in creating a treatment plan to achieve your therapy goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Through my experience as a case manager for the homeless in Dallas and later my experience at a private practice specializing in addiction, it is my belief that the difficulties that we face stem from our inner dialogue and extreme responses in acknowledgment to triggering situations. It is my goal to help the client explore such thoughts and reactions by developing coping skills and new ways of thinking in order for the client to feel more at ease and happier in life. “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” -Viktor Frankl
