Whether it is helping you become the gatekeeper of your own thoughts, thinking and acting effectively given life’s challenges, realizing your own innate worth, or simply finding peace within yourself or your relationships, I am here to work with you. I have extensive experience in working with anxiety, mood, relationship issues and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). When we can take a step inward and understand ourselves (thoughts, feelings, behaviors) and why these patterns develop, we can truly feel self-compassion. Insight and self-compassion are essential in making lasting changes and free us to live the life we want.
I've been a therapist since 2008, certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and specializing in treating anxiety, mood, relationship issues and BPD. I combine techniques to help you explore and gain insight (let's make those "ah-hah!" moments happen!) while learning and implementing skills that help you live the life you deserve.
I understand your struggle is what brought you here looking for help, and true lasting help is what you deserve. I will give you my best at each visit to understand you and guide you toward the peace you are seeking in your life. Laughter is also important for connection and change, so let's be human together!
