The world can be heavy and overwhelming. The day-to-day demands, the unknown, and the ever-changing dynamics of life can be challenging to navigate. I am here to carry the hope that life can get better and together, we can do that. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy where I focus on changing problematic thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. There is a skill for everything! I am a teacher and a healer. I empower clients to explore their concerns and find creative ways to solve or address those issues. Together we can process factors that have shaped you by exploring trauma or shift into solution-focused strategies and interventions. My job is to meet you where you are and help guide you to the life you want. **I have Sunday appointments only.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We will explore goals and barriers to include symptoms and behaviors you may wish to change.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I love DBT! I was trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy in 2018. There is a skill for everything including impulsiveness, interpersonal conflicts, intense emotional dysregulation, and negative behavioral patterns. DBT focuses on Mindfulness, Emotional Regulation Skills, Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills, and Distress Tolerance Skills. Additionally, I focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist with awareness of problematic thoughts and how those thoughts impact feelings and drive behavior. I also believe we should understand how the brain functions to explain why people behave the way they do.
