About
I understand therapy to be a collaborative process and I aim to establish a meaningful, trusting, and authentic relationship with every client. I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in anxiety / mood disorders, trauma, family conflict and relational distress, as well as borderline personality disorder. I help clients learn to manage difficult emotions, increase self-esteem, and enhance relationships. I also incorporate mindfulness to reduce stress and help you participate fully in each present moment. My goal is to instill hope by identifying areas of strength, resilience, and capacity for positive change. My approach involves psychodynamic and attachment principles, a client-centered foundation, and CBT and DBT techniques to improve coping and self-efficacy. I am completing my training in DBT through Behavioral Tech under the mentorship of Dr. Suzanne Wallach, and I am a primary therapist and skills group leader in Dr. Wallach's Comprehensive DBT program. Effective therapy requires effort and commitment from the therapist and the client, and I honor the courage it takes to show up. Embarking on this journey can yield better insight, stronger relationships and sense of self, clearer goals and the tools you need to achieve them. I would be honored to join you on your path to healing.
