About

Are strong, intense emotions affecting your life? Therapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and untangle these feelings. Together, we will delve into your emotions, thoughts, and experiences to gain valuable insights. My goal is to equip you with tools to build the life you envision and adapt to adversity. In our sessions, you will find a safe space to be seen, heard, and supported. My approach is solution-focused, aiming to construct practical solutions to the stressors in your life. If you are ready to take the first step toward a more balanced and fulfilling life, contact me today to schedule a consultation.

Specializing in the treatment of personality disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD), I draw largely from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Treatment is tailored to each person's needs.

CBT examines the interplay between emotions, behaviors, and thoughts, focusing on specific goals. DBT addresses deep emotions, providing skills in interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. Together, we'll navigate your challenges in order to build a more fulfilling life.
