My Approach

​

​Hey, I'm glad you're here!

 

Based on my own personal experience and work as a therapist, I know how painful it can be to struggle with your mental health. For a lot of people, myself included, talk therapy alone doesn't cut it, While it's important to explore and understand the reasons behind your struggles, insight alone doesn't always equate relief. This is especially true if you're struggling with difficult-to-break behavior patterns, such as self-harm, substance abuse, avoidance, and/or ruminating and catastrophic thinking patterns, etc.

 

That said, I (and many mental health practitioners and researchers) believe lasting relief from mental illness comes from learning practical skills to navigate life's challenges more effectively.

 

I use evidence-based treatment approaches, including DBT and RODBT, with a focus on helping you build concrete skills for managing distress, improving relationships, and reducing vulnerabilities to mental illness. 

​

Our work together will be collaborative, and my priority is that when we meet, you feel comfortable showing up as yourself without judgment.
