Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am looking forward to learning about you and discovering how we might work together to help you live your best life.

My approach to therapy

The therapy tools I use are determined by the needs of my specific patients. Some people need just DBT - skills, diary cards and behavior chains. Others may benefit from skills alone. EMDR might be used as a stand alone treatment for trauma or to help a part that is struggling in Internal Family Systems work. I often combine CBT with Somatic and Mindfulness-based interventions with clients who have chronic or terminal illness because that is such a mind body experience. I welcome client feedback throughout. Developing your treatment plan is an interactive process.

What you can expect from me

First sessions always involve a lot of "getting to know you". What are your goals for treatment? I strive to give each client something they can use prior to our next session to begin moving toward at least one of those goals.
