Behind difficult behavior is someone doing their best with skills that are not working anymore. I bring curiosity, warmth, and humor to help you feel safe enough to be honest, while offering practical guidance and a clearer path forward. If you feel stuck or you’re wondering what to try next, I would be happy to help.
My approach goes beyond symptoms. Using EMDR, DBT, trauma-informed, and a mind-body lens, I help you understand what drives your emotions, work through dissociation or crisis, and build lasting resilience. With 20+ years of experience, including deep expertise with high-acuity teens, I help people move from just surviving to feeling like themselves again.
Trauma can show up in many forms—overwhelming emotions, dissociation, a sense of disconnection from yourself, or exhaustion that rest doesn't seem to fix. Whether you're an adult carrying the weight of past trauma, a teen dealing with your own triggers, or a parent worried about a teen in crisis—intense emotions, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or behaviors that leave you wondering what to do next— I partner with you to move from crisis mode to steady ground.
