About

I take an eclectic and personalized approach to therapy, integrating techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and psychodynamic theory. Each of these modalities offers a unique lens to understand your experience, and together they support a deeper, more holistic path toward healing. DBT offers practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions, enhancing relationships, mindfulness, and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing supports meaningful change by helping you clarify goals. Psychodynamic helps us explore how early relationships and past experiences affect current behaviors. Specialties: Anger, Anxiety, Chronic Illness, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), Depression, Dream Analysis, Grief and Loss, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, PTSD, School Issues, Self-Esteem, Sexual Trauma, Sexuality, Sleep Issues, Stress, Substance Use, Suicidal Ideation, Trauma. Modalities: DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.
