Resolving relationship, cultural and communication issues can increase your self awareness to bring opportunities for growth and enjoyment. If you feel lonely and unsure why, let’s explore how to bring joy to your life, starting at our first meeting. I work with parents/families, couples and individuals. My main focus is RO-DBT, an evidenced based approach to help with issues related to "overcontrol". I also use supplementary techniques for changing habits, improving communication and reducing inner conflict.
From a strengths based approach, let's work to enhance the parts of life that excite you and allow habits, beliefs, and past experiences to be integrated and all you the freedom for you to focus on the present and building a healthy future.
I am excited to support clients to feel more confident in their inner world, their relationships, and in their professional lives. My passion is working with people who struggle with meeting life goals by supporting them to clarify their values and meet their desired objectives, including issues with substances and other high risk behaviors.

The majority of my clients identify with the principles and challenges faced by being "overcontrolled" and I use Radically Open DBT in treatment. This is a structured treatment that is engaging and liberating for those who struggle with forming/maintaining healthy relationships and feel "mystified" with how to change that. I also work with families, to increase family engagement and harmony.
