I balance warmth and validation with a direct approach in treatment. Coming from a DBT informed perspective, I aim to balance acceptance of where you are while simultaneously working toward change to help you reach your goals. I approach the therapeutic relationship from a collaborative stance. While I have the training and experience in psychology, you have the experience of living your life, in your shoes. I value your input in your treatment.

Clients can expect to gain insight into their behavioral patterns and learn tools to make change. They can expect to learn to listen to what their emotions are communicating to them and skills for managing emotions, participating in relationships effectively, and increasing awareness of the present moment. Clients can also expect to gain insight into how trauma experiences may be impacting their daily life and how to process these experiences to reduce PTSD symptoms and increase self-confidence.
