(she/her)
I use a person-centered approach enriched by Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), emphasizing mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. My goal is to help you manage intense feelings, align with personal goals, and build resilience. Therapy is about harmonizing acceptance and growth, fostering self-compassion, and creating fulfilling relations. Let's embark on this transformative journey together.
In our first session together, we will start with introductions and a brief discussion of aspects of your wellness that are challenging; this helps with developing a treatment plan.
My strengths as a therapist include teaching skills to overcome past traumas and current difficulties in your wellness.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I am DBT and CCTP certified, which means that I focus on mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and trauma. I have found that these core areas help to reduce distress in several aspects of wellness when applied.

Dr. Bottoms is an excellent communicator and extremely understanding. I liked that she recognized a majority of the things I am facing and demonstrated the confidence that she could help me. Looking forward to working with her.

Dr. Bottoms is absolutely amazing. It's like talking to an enlightened Auntie! Thank you for always being so empowering, warm, and direct (because I definitely need all of these!) Can't wait for our future sessions!
