I specialize in trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, BPD, emotional dysregulation, and dissociation. I am an EMDR-trained therapist with advanced training in DBT, and I earned my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. I care deeply about helping people understand themselves without judgment while making meaningful changes in their lives. I believe therapy can be both compassionate and purposeful.
There are reasons you learned to survive the way you did. If those ways of surviving are no longer working, we can understand them and learn something different. I use EMDR and DBT to help you process trauma, understand patterns, build skills, and make purposeful changes. You can accept where you are and work toward change at the same time.
You do not have to tell me everything at once. Our first session is a chance for me to understand what is bringing you to therapy, what you want your life to look like, and what might be getting in the way. We will talk about your goals and decide together where to begin. I want you to leave with a clearer sense of what we are working toward and how we can get there.
