About

My clients tend to be people who want to feel more in control of their emotions, more effective at getting what they want, less stuck, more flexible, more connected and really just more at peace. They seek relief from patterns - sometimes chronic and severe, sometimes only subtly troublesome - of painful emotions, negative self-talk and thoughts, rumination, relationship instability and self sabotaging behaviors. Many of my clients tend to have had very painful formative or recent experiences of invalidation that have been difficult or confusing. I am passionate about using evidence-based therapies, am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and utilize a DBT framework in most of my sessions. DBT is an evidence-based therapy that can increase ones ability to regulate emotions & tolerate distress, increase interpersonal effectiveness, to move towards a more content life.
