Every approach I use is backed by solid research and tailored to you. Most clients meet with me by secure telehealth.

 

Individual Counseling

Support for anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, grief and stress. Together we'll set clear goals and build practical tools you can use right away.

 

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT was designed for people who feel emotions faster, stronger and longer than others seem to. It teaches four sets of skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

 

DBT can help if you feel like your emotions are running your life, struggle with intense anger or depression, act on urges you later regret, or have relationships that swing between close and chaotic.

 

I offer comprehensive DBT, including individual therapy, a weekly skills class and between-session coaching. As a DBT-Linehan Board Certified Clinician, I've met the highest standard available for DBT practice, so you can trust you're getting DBT as it was designed to be done. 

 

Trauma and PTSD

Trauma can keep you on guard long after the danger has passed. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) helps you loosen the grip of beliefs trauma left behind, like "it was my fault" or "I can't trust anyone." DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT PE) is for people who need DBT's stability first and then want to process trauma directly.

 

Addiction Recovery

Recovery is more than stopping. It's building a life you don't want to escape from. As a Licensed Addiction Counselor, I treat substance use alongside the depression, anxiety or trauma that so often travel with it.

 

Meditative Breathwork and Mindfulness

Your breath is the one tool you always have with you. I teach simple practices that calm the nervous system, ease anxiety and help you feel present in your body again, either within therapy or as a focus on its own.
