Great to meet you!

I moved from Denver to Panama City Beach 7 years ago. I specifically use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help clients be in control of their emotions instead of their emotions be in control of them. I believe movement is an important part of healing.

My approach to therapy

I am direct but love to laugh with my clients and find humor in life. I will challenge you on unhealthy choices and any discrepancies between what you say you want and what you do. But change is hard and I am supportive and patient as you go through the process.

What you can expect from me

Clients will walk away with a specific plan for the next week. They will also learn specific counters to negative and self judgmental thoughts and specific calming techniques to begin using now.
