Clinical Therapy
As a licensed therapist, I provide personal and compassionate therapy. It is an honor to guide the healing journey and to help my clients develop the tools they need to cope with all of life’s challenges. I typically work in weekly 50-90 minute sessions, weaving together evidence based treatments, including DBT, EMDR, ACT, and Mindfulness to meet the unique needs of my clients. Within the first few sessions, we identify collaborative goals and begin working toward those goals. Many of the people I see are working through anxiety, depression, disordered eating, trauma, relationship difficulties, distorted body image, low self-esteem, and emotion dysregulation.

What is…
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
DBT is a highly effective, evidence based, cognitive behavioral therapy. It’s main goals are to teach people how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others. DBT often involves homework between sessions and helps people who have difficulty with emotional regulation, self-harm behaviors, personality disorders, eating disorders, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR therapy is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences. It does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue or completing homework between sessions, but rather utilizes sensory input such as sounds or eye movements to help people recover from the effects of trauma. EMDR therapy is used to help people recover from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), grief, loss, pain and chronic illness.
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
ACT is an action-oriented approach that stems from cognitive behavior therapy and integrates mindfulness and values-centered actions with the goal of increasing psychological flexibility and improving physical health and quality of life. ACT has been used effectively to help treat workplace stress, test anxiety, social anxiety disorder, depression, and OCD. It has also been used to help treat medical conditions such as chronic pain, substance abuse and diabetes.
