About Me

---

Welcome! 

I’m glad you’re here. I’m a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™ who is passionate about helping people build lives and relationships that feel more fulfilling, balanced, and meaningful. I believe deeply in the skills I teach—and I strive to practice what I preach in my own life.

I work with adults and couples who are struggling with emotion regulation, relationship challenges, painful past experiences, or patterns that are getting in the way of the life they want. I also facilitate DBT Skills groups for adults of all ages.

My clinical training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and the Gottman Method for couple’s therapy. I have been participating on DBT treatment teams since 2006 and continue to meet weekly with a consultation team of DBT-trained practitioners to deepen my clinical practice. I also participate in a monthly couple’s consultation group focused on applying DBT with couples.

In addition to my extensive DBT training and experience, I have completed advanced training in EMDR. I work with individuals who have experienced deeply painful or traumatic events that may feel unresolved and continue to affect their lives, relationships, and sense of well-being in the present.

I am particularly passionate about working with couples. Relationships can be both deeply rewarding and deeply challenging, and I enjoy helping couples understand the patterns that keep them stuck, communicate more effectively, and develop greater connection and compassion for one another. I have completed specialized training in using DBT with couples, as well as Level 2 training in the Gottman Method for Marriage and Couples Therapy.

I bring not only extensive clinical training and experience, but also a wealth of life experience in business, marriage, family, and relationships. I believe that therapy is most effective when it combines solid, evidence-based approaches with genuine human connection, curiosity, and compassion.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are, offer practical tools while going deeper into the issues beneath the surface, and walk alongside you as you work toward meaningful change, I may be a good fit.

I’d be happy to connect and answer any questions you may have about getting started.
