Accepting new clients. As a therapist, I work to develop a secure & trusting relationship with clients rooted in transparency and mutual vulnerability. We will work together to find your strengths, parts of you that have been lost to society’s grueling demands. How can you access a deep level of emotion when just trying to keep your head above water today? When you juggle a job, school, children, relationships, it can be challenging to experience moments of joy. My goal is to encourage you in your journey and help to make life more manageable & fulfilling-improving your interpersonal relationships, job/school performance & life.
My approach is built on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT); addressing three major areas: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Through processing, changing thinking patterns, and developing skills, we achieve a new level of stability and connection. I know it works-I have been in your shoes as a client and benefited greatly.
I work with a variety of clients with complicated issues and their mental health concerns (not limited to): Anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+, faith crises, mood, relationship problems, loneliness, trauma and substance use problems through individual and couples’ therapy. I firmly believe that we are not just deserving of joy but entitled to it as human beings.
