About

I have seen the most success with people struggling to navigate family issues, trauma within the family including childhood trauma; relationship stressors, and working with individuals who are questioning their sexuality (including the complicated family and relationship issues that arise for LGBTQIA+ community members). I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to elevate one's skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and effective interpersonal communication. While I specialize in DBT, I also integrate various techniques from different evidence-based interventions to meet the needs of my clients.
