In pursuit of the ultimate goal, to live a meaningful, balanced and happy life, we are confronted with an endless array of obstacles that can obstruct our path. These may include trauma, failure, negative thought patterns, emotion dysregulation, fear/anxiety, problematic relationships and skills deficits. We often try to solve these problems only to wind up stuck in repetitive, unproductive or potentially even destructive patterns. Through a collaborative partnership, my role is to help you identify what is getting in the way of your path toward emotional, physical and spiritual wellness. My areas of specialization include complex trauma/PTSD, emotion dysregulation, substance abuse and mood disorders. I have been intensively trained in DBT. I am also trained in exposure-based therapies for PTSD as well as stage-oriented treatment most appropriate for complex trauma. I offer individual therapy and both individual and group DBT skills training.The relationship you form with your therapist is a valuable partnership and it is essential that you choose a therapist that you feel understands you, accepts you and works with you to create your own path toward wellness. By offering a free initial phone consultation, I can help you determine if I am the right fit for you and your goals.
