Spicy? Artsy? Neurodivergent? Hypermobile? Me too. Those on the fringe are my favorite kinds of people. Your emotions are intense. You see the best and worst in life. It can get hard though; the anxiety, rage, and sadness hurt. You get impulsive - say and do things you regret. You can be a hot mess. The emotional roller coaster is exhausting - you've been riding it all your life and want off. Familiar? The good news is it's gonna be ok. You're not "crazy". You don't have to live in misery. If you think you might have Borderline Personality Disorder, or are just a highly sensitive person, Dialectical Behavior Therapy can help.

A therapist’s job is to guide people in realizing their potential and to reconnect with their authentic self. My approach stresses self-acceptance through recognizing, examining and effectively expressing our thoughts, feelings, and needs, as well as exploring any unfinished business from our past. Thoughts may be a source of suffering for many, and I help people examine their internal dialogue and break unhealthy patterns. These patterns are often the result of defense structures built of necessity to survive exposure to traumas and other behaviors modeled for us since childhood.

It’s like your life has been split apart. There was the you from before this devastating loss –happy, hopeful, and enthusiastic for the future. And then there’s you now – confused, angry, and unspeakably sad. You had a plan for your life that gave you comfort and security, but all at once, it disappeared. It’s difficult to accept what’s happened, let alone begin to actually process it. You’re unsure where to go from here, and even worse, you don’t really care. It’s like an integral part of what made you yourself has been taken away, and you don’t know who you are now. You can’t see any way forward, and it feels hopeless.

My ideal client is someone struggling with difficult circumstances, stressors or trauma. They need a guide for how to navigate healing for their mind, body and emotions.

I believe everyone has the ability to heal and discovery new paths to living a more fulfilling life.

I work from the belief that people hold within themselves the ability to change. Often our greatest change comes at times of transition. Transitions -- be they of community, health, age, gender identity, or relationship origin -- present a need for careful decision-making and support. When confronted with hard challenges, many of us need someone simply to assist us in looking at our lives, recognizing our strengths and supports around us, and developing strategies to bring about the change we desire.

It takes courage and integrity to recognize when we're not happy and to do something positive about it. There are times in all our lives when we feel there is something holding us back from reaching our potentials. We may have fears, anxieties, or other sources of emotional pain that seem to keep us from fulfilling roles in our lives in the ways we would like--in our careers, in our relationships, as a parents, etc. Psychotherapy is a pathway to creating the life you want by identifying and removing obstacles and working toward the positive changes you need.

I have found that at the heart of what I do is connection: connecting with clients so that they feel seen and heard, helping children and parents reconnect when challenging behaviors and emotions get in the way, helping individuals explore and connect with parts of themselves to help them move past their struggles and thrive. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral and emotional difficulties with your child, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, trauma and chronic stress, stress management or other phase of life issues, I am here to help.
