Great to meet you!

Our problem behaviors are a result of our emotions. Individual sessions will focus on identifying the variables that lead to problem behaviors and learn skills to tolerate and regulate emotions in order to reduce unwanted behaviors.

My approach to therapy

I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT), so my approach will be based on DBT interventions such as learning skills to be more effective in your life.

Clients will learn ways to control their minds and emotions, They will learn how to tolerate distressing situations without making a situation worse.
