Individual Therapy

Choosing the right therapist can be an intimidating process. I create a collaborative and supportive environment where clients can feel safe, build their coping skills, and learn to lead more positive and productive lives. By using evidence-based techniques, clients are able to process various problem areas, challenge negative thoughts, confidently manage uncomfortable emotions, and engage in healthy behaviors to achieve treatment goals.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) - Informed Skills Sessions

Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance skills are taught to increase frustration tolerance, decrease self-harm behaviors, regulate emotions effectively, improve communication, repair relationships in order to continue to build a life worth living. Sessions are individualized to the client’s needs and target areas.
