Short Description
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward in life? I provide compassionate, professional psychotherapy to help you navigate life’s challenges and rediscover your sense of purpose.
Description of Practice
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or personal growth struggles, my evidence-based therapy approach is tailored to meet your unique needs.

I am intensively trained in Radically Open Dialectical Therapy (RO DBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I integrate these frameworks into the fabric of most sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a kind of therapy designed to help people manage big emotions, build better relationships, and navigate life’s ups and downs with more balance and control. It’s a tool for anyone who feels like their emotions sometimes get in the way of living the life they want.

It’s like having a toolbox full of practical strategies for handling emotions and relationships better. DBT is especially helpful for people who feel like they’re always “on edge,” struggle with self-destructive behaviors, or just want to feel more in control of their emotions and actions.

It’s not about being “perfect” or “always happy.” DBT is about learning to ride the waves of life with confidence, self-compassion, and resilience.

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) is a type of therapy that helps people who tend to hold things in and have a hard time relaxing, opening up, or connecting with others. If you’re someone who prides yourself on being organized, controlled, or disciplined—but sometimes feel lonely, misunderstood, or “stuck”—RO DBT might be for you!

While traditional DBT focuses on people with big, overwhelming emotions, RO DBT is designed for the opposite: people who are overcontrolled. Being over-controlled means you might: have high standards and a strong sense of responsibility, keep your emotions bottled up or find it hard to show vulnerability, or feel disconnected from others, even if you’re good at following rules and routines.


RO DBT combines science-backed strategies with a warm, supportive approach to help you feel more connected, open, and alive. It’s about finding balance—letting yourself laugh, take risks, and truly connect with others while still being the responsible, thoughtful person you are.

Additionally, my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) equips me to address sleep-related challenges effectively.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a proven, drug-free way to help you get the sleep you need. If you’re tired of tossing and turning at night or feeling groggy during the day, CBT-I can teach you how to reset your sleep patterns and enjoy restful nights again.
