If you are carrying something heavy that you have never fully unpacked, or a stress level that has quietly become your normal, you are who I work with. I specialize in helping teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder and more. Most of my work is helping you steady what you feel so it stops running your week. I have done this for over 10 years, including several running an intensive outpatient program.
I am intensive DBT trained through Behavioral Tech in Marsha Linehan's curriculum, and it shapes most of what we do. We build skills you can use on a Tuesday afternoon when the feeling actually hits: how to ride out an urge, how to say the hard thing without torching the relationship, how to come back down. I also use cognitive behavioral and solution focused work when that is faster. I offer telehealth and in person sessions in Bristol.
We will cover your background, your history, and what brought you in now. If you have never done this before it can feel intimidating, so I keep the questions simple and direct and try to make it as painless as possible. I also mix in some humor from time to time, because by the end I hope it feels less like an assessment and more like we are just having a conversation. You will leave knowing what our next sessions look like.
