Providing individual and couples therapy. My goal is to work with clients who are struggling with various life challenges. I am a specialist in treating chronic depression, suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors, eating disorders, anxiety, trauma, drug and alcohol use, and other life threatening behaviors. I am also highly specialized in the assessment and treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder. I utilize evidence-based treatment with a focus on careful assessment, use of outcomes measures, and treatment planning to help you not only have a reduction of symptoms, but help you achieve transformative healing and recovery. I am an advanced competency therapist in Dynamic Deconstructive Psychotherapy (DDP), an evidence-based model of psychotherapy. DDP helps patients adaptively process emotionally laden experiences, attain a positive sense of self, and to develop authentic and fulfilling relationships. I also provide Emotionally Focused therapy (EFT) for couples in distress. I believe in the power of psychotherapy in helping people achieve transformative change. I focus on helping you learn to connect with your emotions, and connect to yourself and with others. This process helps you work towards self-acceptance. The automatic side effect is that depression, anxiety, and suicidal thought decrease.
