About My Clients
I provide individual, couples, and group teletherapy to adults and teens who are overwhelmed, stressed, and feel they've tried it all but are still held back by fear, low self-image, extreme emotions, and unhelpful thoughts. With specialized experience treating anxiety, Borderline Personality, and trauma related issues (especially within the LGBTQ+ community), I can help you walk the balanced path between compassionately understanding where you are while acting towards the place you want to be.
My Background and Approach
Guided by my personal values of kindness, acceptance, and patience, I help my clients build the skills needed to live with life’s complexities in the most manageable way possible. I'll support your healing as you learn to validate your individuality, communicate your needs, and find peace by using techniques proven to manage intense thoughts, emotions, and hardships so you can be free to love who you are, just as you are! At your own pace, we'll partner together to look at what has held you back while also developing the tools needed to participate fully in life, strengthen meaningful relationships, and maintain your self-respect through it all. I’m a mindfulness-based therapist specializing in DBT, CBT, and ACT. All of my services (including DBT Skills Group and Comprehensive DBT) are offered via telehealth throughout California. I am proud to belong to as well as serve the unique needs of the LGBTQ+ community!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
If you’re anything like me or my clients, you’re very aware that your stressful thoughts and emotions keep coming even though it seems like you’ve done everything you can to stop them. Maybe you’re burned out and can’t relax, believing that you have to do everything by yourself but then you’re hard on yourself for having feelings and needs! You likely know you don't want to lose your temper so easily or be controlled by your thoughts, and you're very aware that you want more from your life than how it is now. What you likely don’t know is how to make this vision of a life worth living a reality. Unfortunately, without techniques to use when painful events happen, you’re at risk of reverting back to the ineffective ways that have kept you stuck. You don't have to suffer though and none of us can go at this game of life alone! I am passionate about teaching what has worked for me, countless clients, and has been backed by decades of research.
