I am a licensed mental health counselor with extensive experience working with teens, adults, and families. I specialize in treating anxiety, mood disorders, and emotional dysregulation, using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In addition to providing therapy, I develop DBT skills training programs and write articles and books on mental health topics. My passion is helping clients build resilience, improve emotional well-being, and thrive in their personal and professional lives.
In the first session, clients can expect a warm and supportive environment where we’ll begin building a connection. I’ll take the time to understand their concerns, history, and goals, and we’ll explore what brought them to therapy. Together, we’ll discuss how I can support them using evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT, tailored to their specific needs. This session is also an opportunity for clients to ask questions, share their expectations, and begin setting the foundation for our work together. My goal is to ensure they feel heard, comfortable, and hopeful about the path forward.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood, and my expertise in applying evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT to meet their unique needs. I am compassionate, collaborative, and focused on empowering clients to develop practical skills for emotional regulation, managing anxiety, depression, and improving relationships. With a deep understanding of the challenges my clients face, I tailor my approach to foster growth, resilience, and sustainable change.
